Shimura subvarieties via endomorphisms
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Volume 360 (2022), pp. 1117-1124.

We prove that there exist two families in 2 , 3 of non-Galois covers of the projective line whose Jacobians trace out Shimura subvarieties of 𝒜 2 ,𝒜 3 . They provide the first two explicit examples of Shimura subvarieties obtained by means of Jacobians carrying non-trivial endomorphisms not directly induced by the automorphisms of the curves. We also obtain a new example of a positive dimensional family of special Pryms in 𝒜 4 δ .
