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.

What can we say about tropical maps $\mathbb{P}^1 \to A$ for an Abelian variety $A$?
It's well known that maps $\mathbb{P}^1_\mathbb{C} \to A$ are constant for any Abelian variety $A$ (in fact, for any complex torus).
Is there any similar statement in the tropical case? Naively, the …

Am I missing something about this notion of Mirror Symmetry for abelian varieties?
This is a continuation of my recent question: Mirror symmetry for polarized abelian surfaces and Shioda-Inose K3s.
In the comments of the question, I was directed to the paper http://arxiv.org/abs/he …

Mirror symmetry for polarized abelian surfaces and Shioda-Inose K3s
It is well known (cf. Dolgachev) that there is a beautiful notion of mirror symmetry for lattice-polarized K3 surfaces. That is, if we are given a rank $r$ lattice $M$ of signature $(1, r - 1)$ and a …

To what extent does Poincare duality hold on moduli stacks?
Poincare duality gives us, for a smooth orientable $n$-manifold, an isomorphism $H^k(M) \to H_{n-k}(M)$ given by $\gamma \mapsto \gamma \frown [M]$ where $[M]$ is the fundamental class of the manifold …

Is there an intrinsic way to define the group law on Abelian varieties?
On an elliptic curve given by a degree three equation y^2 = x(x - 1)(x - λ), we can define the group law in the following way (cf. Hartshorne):
We note that the map to its Jacobian given by $\mathca …

What classes am I missing in the Picard lattice of a Kummer K3 surface?
Constructing the Kummer K3 of an Abelian surface $A$, we have an obvious 22-dimensional collection of classes in $H^2(K3, \mathbb{Z})$ given by the 16 (-2)-curves (which by construction do not interse …
