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

The universal vector extension $E$ of an abelian variety $A$ is an algebraic group, an extension of $A$ by a vector group $0 \to V \to E \to A \to 0$, such that any other extension of $A$ by a vector …
