Abelian surface

In mathematics, an abelian surface is a 2-dimensional abelian variety. One-dimensional complex tori are just elliptic curves and are all algebraic, but Riemann discovered that most complex tori of dimension 2 are not algebraic via the Riemann bilinear relations. Essentially, these are conditions on the parameter space of period matrices for complex tori which define an algebraic subvariety. This subvariety contains all of the points whose period matrices correspond to a period matrix of an abelian variety. The algebraic ones are called abelian surfaces and are exactly the 2-dimensional abelian varieties. Most of their theory is a special case of the theory of higher-dimensional tori or abelian varieties. Finding criteria for a complex torus of dimension 2 to be a product of two elliptic curves (up to isogeny) was a popular subject of study in the nineteenth century. Invariants: The plurigenera are all 1. The surface is diffeomorphic to S1×S1×S1×S1 so the fundamental group is Z4. Hodge diamond: Examples: A product of two elliptic curves. The Jacobian variety of a genus 2 curve. (Wikipedia).

Derived Categories part 1

We give a buttload of definitions for morphisms on various categories of complexes. The derived category of an abelian category is a category whose objects are cochain complexes and whose morphisms I describe in this video.

Representation theory: Abelian groups

This lecture discusses the complex representations of finite abelian groups. We show that any group is iomorphic to its dual (the group of 1-dimensional representations, and isomorphic to its double dual in a canonical way (Pontryagin duality). We check the orthogonality relations for the

Claire Voisin: Gonality and zero-cycles of abelian varieties

Abstract: The gonality of a variety is defined as the minimal gonality of curve sitting in the variety. We prove that the gonality of a very general abelian variety of dimension g goes to infinity with g. We use for this a (straightforward) generalization of a method due to Pirola that we

David Masser: Avoiding Jacobians

Abstract: It is classical that, for example, there is a simple abelian variety of dimension 4 which is not the jacobian of any curve of genus 4, and it is not hard to see that there is one defined over the field of all algebraic numbers \overline{\bf Q}. In 2012 Chai and Oort asked if ther

RT7.2. Finite Abelian Groups: Fourier Analysis

Representation Theory: With orthogonality of characters, we have an orthonormal basis of L^2(G). We note the basic philosophy behind the Fourier transform and apply it to the character basis. From this comes the definition of convolution, explored in 7.3. Course materials, including pro

Complex surfaces 5: Kodaira dimension 0

This talk is an informal survey of the complex projective surfaces of Kodaira number 0. We first explain why there are 4 types of such surfaces (Enriques, K3, hyperelliptic, and abelian) and then give a few examples of each type.

Nick Addington - Rational points and derived equivalence - WAGON

For smooth projective varieties over Q, is the existence of a rational point preserved under derived equivalence? First I'll discuss why this question is interesting, and what is known. Then I'll show that the answer is no, giving two counterexamples: an abelian variety and a torsor over i
