Complex abelian varieties and Riemann forms

Posted by martin on Wednesday, 30 December 2009 at 21:48

The theory of abelian varieties is very beautiful, both in its arithmetic and geometrical aspects, and also looking just over $\mathbb{C}$ where there are nice applications of complex analysis. In this post I will work over $\mathbb{C}$, and sketch a proof that a complex torus is isomorphic to an abelian variety if and only if it admits a Riemann form. This will assume some knowledge of the theory of complex manifolds.
