I had edited Kummer -> Kümmer while this was on the front page, but that was wrong. Sorry! I thought I checked first.

May 17, 2010 at 19:21 comment added unknown Dear Profs Milne and Clark: Thank you for these responses. And yes, what if I want to ignore polarizations. Are quotients by even just cyclic groups understood?

May 15, 2010 at 0:23 comment added Pete L. Clark @Prof. Milne: What Shimura and Taniyama do seems natural in the context of CM theory, since it's the higher-dimensional analogue of the Weber function $h: E -> E/\operatorname{Aut}(E,O)$ for a CM elliptic curve. Still, you could ignore the polarization if you want, and then the possibilities for finite subgroups of automorphisms are much more numerous...
May 14, 2010 at 23:26 comment added JS Milne The group of automorphisms of a polarized abelian variety is finite, and Shimura and Taniyama (in their famous 1961 book, p35) define a Kummer variety to be the quotient of a polarized abelian variety by the full group of automorphisms. For a general polarized abelian variety, the automorphism group is Z/2Z, and so I expect that they have been most studied in that case.
