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.

Explicit equations for the universal vector extension of an elliptic curve
(Not a complete answer but too long for a comment)
My guess is that such a description is not known, probably because there isn't an easy one. There is a very nice complex analytic description as $\ma …

Is there a separable isogeny between any two isogenous abelian varieties?
The answer is no. I think Asvin's example in the comments is correct but there may be a few things to check. I will give a different example that is easier to check, using Moret-Bailly's famous exampl …

Prime divisors on the Jacobian of a genus 2 curve over $\mathbb{F}_q$ under the $n$ map
If $\iota$ denotes the hyperelliptic involution, then the condition $n[P-\infty] = [Q-\infty]$ is equivalent to $nP+\iota(Q)$ linearly equivalent to $(n+1)\infty$. In a few pathological cases, where t …

On Tate's "Endomorphisms of Abelian Varieties over Finite Fields", sketch of proof of main r...
I don't have any contribution for the intuition beyond the fact that, I can't construct something outside the image of (1) so I hope it's surjective.
Here is a sketch of the central idea of Tate's pr …

When $k = \mathbb{F}_q$ finite field, $X$ always has $k$-rational point, and so $A \simeq X$?
A bit of overkill, but it follows from the Weil conjectures. The structure of cohomology ($H^i = \wedge^i H^1$) is computed over the algebraic closure and it follows that the number of points is $\pro …

What are sufficient and necessary conditions to be a generalized Zariski surface over a fini...
K3 surfaces are unirational if and only if they have Picard number $22$ (This was a conjecture of M. Artin, now proved by Liedtke, Inv Math 2015). Unirational means that there is a surjective rational …

Modularity theorem for abelian varieties
Abelian varieties over the rationals are modular if and only if they are of "$GL_2$"-type, which is a notion introduced by Ribet who proved that this statement is a consequence of Serre's conjecture w …

Is the stabilizer of an irreducible subvariety of an abelian variety irreducible ?
No. Take a curve in its Jacobian and pull it back by multiplication by some n. The resulting pullback is a curve invariant by the n torsion.

Over which fields does the Mordell-Weil theorem hold?
Here is an [INCOMPLETE, POSSIBLY INCORRECT] answer to question 1. Yes. Let $C_n/k,n=1,2,\ldots$ be a sequence of curves of increasing genus defined over a finite field $k$ with maps $C_{n+1} \to C_n$ …

Serre-Tate canonical lifts for finite fields
As you just said, the canonical lift is an abelian scheme over the ring of Witt vectors $W(k)$. Now, if $k$ is finite of characteristic $p$, $W(k)$ is the ring of integers of the unramified extension …

Mordell-Weil group of the universal abelian scheme
For $g=1$ there is a classical paper of Shioda (one of the two cited below) that proves that in char. zero, the group is what you expect but in char. p there are situations in which you get sections o …

Schottky locus in genus 2
By (a possible) definition, a principal polarization on an abelian surface is a curve with self-intersection 2. So, if smooth, it is a genus two curve and the abelian surface is a jacobian. You have t …

projective subvarieties of the moduli space of abelian varieties
The dimension is $g(g+1)/2$. The supersingular locus gives a large projective subvariety but I don't recall whether it is smooth or not. For references, look up the many papers of F. Oort.
