Abstract

We extend the results of R.C. Gunning's paper “Some curves in abelian varieties”, Inv. Math. 66 (1982), 377–389, including also degenerate cases of the original hypotheses. Gunning's characterization of Jacobi varieties in terms of trisecants of the Kummer variety leads to similar characterizations in terms of flexes of the Kummer variety.
