| '''Monday, November 19, 2007''': | Abstract: What the heck is an abelian variety? Elliptic curves are the 1-dimensional abelian varieties. What are they in general? Maybe something like an abelian group and an algebraic variety? A complex torus is a complex manifold which is diffeomorphic to an n-torus. All such structures can be obtained as a quotient of CC^n by a lattice, and this procedure gives us a compact complex manifold. For n=1, this is an elliptic curve. For n >= 1, any variety structure on a complex torus must be unique, and Riemann proved that there is such a variety structure if and only if the torus can be embedded in complex projective space. More specifically, CC^n/L is an abelian variety if and only if there is a positive definite Hermitian form whose imaginary part takes integral values on L. |
