I had encountered the theta divisor in the book of Lange and Birkenhanke on complex abelian varieties and had imagined it to be an analytic construction. Going through your answer, it seems that it can indeed be made algebraic. Thanks for the explanation. | |

(Of course, there are questions of rationality when the field is not algebraically close.) | |
