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.

Quotients of Abelian varieties by finite groups

The quotients of abelian surfaces (over $\mathbb C$) by finite groups are classified by Yoshihara. In particular he determines the possible Kodaira dimensions. For instance, if the holonomy part of th …

Products of primitive roots of the unity

Let $m>2$ be an integer and $k=\varphi(m)$ be the number of $m$-th primitive roots of the unity. Let $\Phi = \{ \xi_1, \ldots, \xi_{k/2}\} $ be a set of $k/2$ pairwise distinct primitive $m$-th roots …

Is there any rational curve on an Abelian variety?

Yes, an abelian variety $A$ contains no rational curves. Suppose not and let $f: \mathbb P^1 \to A$ be a non-constant morphism. If $f$ is inseparable then it must be the composition of some power …
