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.

Torsion points of abelian variety as zeros of a section of a vector bundle?

The crucial case is $m=1$: if you have a vector bundle $E$ on $A$ of rank $\dim(A)$ and a section $s$ of $E$ whose zero locus is $\{0\} $, pulling back $(E,s)$ by multiplication by $m$ gives the gener …

Identifying the canonical principal polarization of a Jacobian

The answer depends very much on how you define the homomorphism $p$ associated to the polarization. My personal choice is $p(a)=\mathcal{O}(\Theta _a-\Theta )$, where $\Theta $ is a theta divisor and …

Pull-back of an irreducible ample divisor via an isogeny of abelian varieties

I think the Proposition is not true if $D$ is singular. Take a smooth curve $C$ of genus 2, and $X=JC$; embed $C$ in $X$ (say, by choosing a point of $C$). Let $\alpha$ be a point of order 2 in $X$; t …

Surjectivity of the Abel-Prym map

First of all, note that your definition is not correct: when $d$ is odd, the image of your map does not land in the Prym variety -- you have to add a constant term. When this is done, the answer is ye …

Difference between stabilizer and automorphism group of subvariety of an abelian variety

They have absolutely no reason to be equal. Consider the case where $A$ is the Jacobian of a genus 2 curve $C$, and $X=C$ embedded in $A$ by $x\mapsto [x]-[p]$ for some fixed point $p\in C$. Then $X$ …

Algebraic Hodge decomposition of CM abelian varieties

Suppose, to simplify, that $A$ is defined over $\mathbb{Q}$. Then $H^1(A_{\mathbb{C}},\mathbb{C})$ has two $\mathbb{Q}$-structures, one coming from singular cohomology, the other one from the algebrai …

Isogeny of abelian varieties

OK, assume $\alpha _i=1$ for all $i$ (this is the only case where the question makes sense). You are given an isogeny $JC\sim A=E_1\times \ldots \times E_g$, with the $E_i$ in different isogeny class …

A curve in an abelian surface and its image in the Kummer surface

Let $b:\hat{X}\rightarrow X$ the blowing up of the 16 2-torsion points, and $E_1,\ldots ,E_{16}$ the exceptional $(-1)$ curves on $\hat{X}$. The involution $x\mapsto -x$ lifts to an involution $\sigm …

Derived equivalence of families of dual abelian varieties

Yes if $X$ is an abelian scheme over $B$: the Fourier-Mukai functor provides an equivalence of the derived categories. This is Theorem 1.1 in Mukai's Fourier functor and its application to the moduli …

Divisors on an abelian surface

The fiber of the projection to $E'_i$, say $F_i$, is isomorphic to $E_j$ ($j\neq i$), not to $E'_j$. We have indeed $(F_1.F_2)=2$, and $F_1,F_2$ generate the group of divisors on $A$ up to numerical e …

Picard number of abelian variety

Existence of divisor in the Jacobian of smooth curve of genus two whose intersection with th...

I think I understand your question now: you want your $D$ to be effective, hence irreducible since $\theta $ is ample. Now the index theorem $(D\cdot \theta )^2\geq D^2\cdot\theta ^2\ $ implies $D^2= …

Is there a unique line bundle in the Kummer surface which pulls back to a totally symmetric ...

1) Yes. If there is another one, it differs from $L'$ by a line bundle $M$ with $M^{2}\cong \mathcal{O}_Y$. Consider the resolution $\pi :\hat{Y}\rightarrow Y$ obtained by blowing up the double points …

Linear system on an abelian surface

The situation is different for abelian surfaces: if $A$ contains no elliptic curves, a linear system $|C|$ on $A$ is very ample as soon as the genus of $C$ is $\geq 8$, see this paper of Ramanan, or …
