\(M\)-curves and symmetric products. (English) Zbl 1386.14201

Summary: Let \((X,\sigma )\) be a geometrically irreducible smooth projective \(M\)-curve of genus \(g\) defined over the field of real numbers. We prove that the \(n\)-th symmetric product of \((X, \sigma )\) is an \(M\)-variety for \(n=2, 3\) and \(n \geq 2g -1\).
