<p>What is the "theorem of the cube" for abelian varieties? What is the statement and how should I think about it?</p>

<p>If you have a line bundle trivial on 3 "surfaces" of a "cube" <code>A x B x C</code> where A, B, C are abelian varieties, then this line bundle in trivial on the whole "cube".</p> <p>See <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theorem%20of%20the%20cube" rel="nofollow">wikipedia</a>.</p>

<p>One application of the theorem of the cube is to study the map from an abelian variety A to its dual abelian variety; the map is defined in terms of line bundles and the key technical theorem one uses to prove anything (e.g. that the map to the dual is a homomorphism) is the theorem of the cube.
