Abelian varieties are projective algebraic varieties endowed with an Abelian group structure. Over the complex numbers, they can be described as quotients of a vector space by a lattice of full rank. They are analogs in higher dimensions of elliptic curves, and play an important role in algebraic geometry and number theory.

The $Pic^0$ of an abelian variety
If I'm not mistaken, you've copied down Mumford's definition incorrectly: it should be
the set of all line bundles $L$ such that $T_x^* L \cong L$ for all $x \in A$.
Once you make this correction: …

possible CM-types of abelian varieties
I posted the following answer yesterday after only a quick skim of the question. When I read it with more care, it seemed to me to be the answer to a different question entirely. After having looked …

Torsion points in Abelian varieties over number fields
Let $l$ be the field cut out by the action of the Galois group on all the torsion points of $A$, and let $\mathfrak{g} = \operatorname{Gal}(l/k)$. Then $\mathfrak{g}$ is a closed subgroup of $\operato …

Simple abelian varieties over non algebraically closed fields.
You're right: "simple abelian variety $A/K$" is ambiguous when $K$ is not algebraically closed. One should say geometrically (or absolutely) simple or K-simple to emphasize which is meant.
If you do …

isogenies between abelian varieties that induce isomorphisms?
Kevin's comment is right on the money, but here it is in more detail: I will give a general criterion for an isogeny $\varphi: A \rightarrow B$ of abelian varieties to induce an isomorphism upon passa …

Is an abelian variety with a Galois invariant, rank one submodule of its Tate module, CM?
Yes. This follows from the main result of the following paper of Zarhin.

Distribution of dimensions of factors of the Jacobian of X_0(p)
Let me begin with what was formerly a comment above: the feeling among most experts is probably* that for each fixed $d$, the number of isogeny factors of $J_0(p)$ of dimension $d$ should be small com …

Is there an intrinsic way to define the group law on Abelian varieties?
Any torsor $V$ under an abelian variety over any field $K$ is caonically isomorphic to its degree $1$ Albanese variety $\operatorname{Alb}^1(V)$, which is itself a torsor under the degree $0$ Albanese …

Global Sections of the Identity Component of Neron model
I will have to wait for a more reasonable hour to give a complete answer, but I believe this paper of mine -- joint with X. Xarles -- is relevant to your question. Most of it works in the case of an …

Units of Endomorphism Rings of Jacobian Varieties with Real Multiplication
I presume I am making a very basic error somewhere but I don't see where.
Yes: you are confusing the automorphism group $\operatorname{Aut} A = (\operatorname{End} A)^{\times}$ with the automorph …

Fourier-Mukai transform for abelian varieties
No. As Will Sawin indicates, every finite subgroup $H$ of $A$ is contained in $K(L)$ for some very ample line bundle on $A$: indeed, let $L_1$ be your favorite very ample line bundle on $A$, and let $ …

Over which fields does the Mordell-Weil theorem hold?
This is an attempt at a relatively mild generalization of what others have said:
Let $K$ be a field and $|\cdot|: K \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a nontrivial absolute value on $K$.

For a line bundle L on a smooth projective variety X, what is meant by Pic^L(X)
Let me address the last part of your question.
Let $X$ be a smooth, projective variety over an arbitrary ground field $k$.
I want to write $Pic^{[L]}(X)$ instead of $Pic^L(X)$ -- i.e., to make explici …

Can we count isogeny classes of abelian varieties?
Let Fq be a finite field. Two elliptic curves E1 and E2 defined over Fq are Fq-rationally isogenous iff # E1(Fq) = # E2(Fq).
