Sankaran %J Mathematics %D 2008 %I arXiv %X We show that the coarse moduli space $\cR_5$ of \'etale double covers of curves of genus~5 over the complex numbers is unirational. We give two slightly different arguments, one purely geometric and the other more computational. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0802.0853v1
