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.

morphisms from abelian varieties to rational curves.

Something is wrong with this statement: your map to $\mathbb{P}^{1}$ is given by a pencil in a linear system $|L|$ on $A$. Since the vector space dimension of the linear system is at least two it foll …

When is an Albanese variety principally polarized?

In general it could happen that the Albanese variety does not admit a principal polarization at all. For instance the Albanese variety of an abelian variety is the Abelian variety itself. So choose $X …

"Albanese" schemes: When does an "initial abelian scheme" exist under a given scheme?

The construction of an Albanese scheme and an Albanese map for proper and geometrically irreducible schemes over a perfect field goes back to the work of Chevalley, to this talk of Serre, and to Groth …
