Abstract

We construct the explicit solution of the initial value problem for sequences generated by the general Somos-6 recurrence relation, in terms of the Kleinian sigma-function of genus two. For each sequence there is an associated genus two curve X, such that iteration of the recurrence corresponds to translation by a fixed vector in the Jacobian of X. The construction is based on a Lax pair with a spectral curve S of genus four admitting an involution σ with two fixed points, and the Jacobian of X arises as the Prym variety Prym(S,σ).
