May 4, 2020 at 19:40 comment added abx No, of course. What I meant is that this is a much studied problem, with proven methods to decide. Look at "divisors and line bundles" in any algebraic geometry book.
May 4, 2020 at 19:14 comment added Stella Dubois @abx I just meant cohomology classes of complex subvarieties of $(\mathbb{C}/\mathbb{Z}[i])^2$. Thanks for letting me know about the condition that it has to be in $H^{1,1}(T^4,\mathbb{C}) \cap H^2(T^4,\mathbb{Z})$. I'm sure I'm being very stupid, though, but is it really true that any element in the subgroup generated by complex subvarieties can itself be represented by a complex subvariety? I can see that if C_1 and C_2 are subvarieties, then [C_1] + [C_2] is represented by an actual subvariety, but is the same true of [C_1] - [C_2]?

Apr 26, 2020 at 6:33 comment added abx Your question is ambiguous. Are you asking about properties of cohomology classes of complex subvarieties of $(\mathbb{C}/\mathbb{Z}[i])^2$, in which case the answer is well-known (Lefschetz theorem), or of classes of submanifolds which are complex subvarieties of $T^4$ for some complex structure of $T^4$? (also well-known, but might be more interesting in general).
