%0 Journal Article %T A Galois-theoretic approach to Kanev's correspondence %A H. Lange %A A. Rojas %J Mathematics %D 2007 %I arXiv %X Let $G$ be a finite group, $\Lambda$ an absolutely irreducible $\Z[G]$-module and $w$ a weight of $\Lambda$. To any Galois covering with group $G$ we associate two correspondences, the Schur and the Kanev correspondence. We work out their relation and compute their invariants. Using this, we give some new examples of Prym-Tyurin varieties. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0707.2441v1
