Néron and Tate have proven the existence of a canonical height hA,D on A(k) characterized by the properties that hA,D is a Weil height for the divisor D and satisfies A,D([m]P) = m2hA,D(P) for all P ~ A(K). Similarly, Silverman [19] proved that on certain K3 surfaces S with a non-trivial automorphism ~: S ~ S there are two canonical height functions hs characterized by the properties that they are Weil heights for certain divisors E ± and satisfy ±S(~P) = (7 + 43)±1±S(P) for all P E S(K) . -

We first investigate a construction of principally polarized abelian varieties attached to certain spin manifolds, due to Witten and Moore-Witten around 2000.

Modern Birkh~user Classics Many of the original research and survey monographs in pure and applied mathematics published by Birkh~iuser in recent decades have been groundbreaking and have come to be regarded as foun- dational to the subject. Through the MBC Series, a select number of these modern classics, entirely uncorrected, are being re-released in paperback (and as eBooks) to ensure that these treasures remain ac- cessible to new generations of students, scholars, and researchers.

Mirror Symmetry of Abelian Variety and Multi Theta Functions

We discussed mirror symmetry of tori in [12] emphasizing its “noncom- mutative” generalization. In this paper, we concentrate on the case of a commutative (usual) torus. Our result is a generalization of one by Polishchuk and Zaslow [42], [41], who studied the case of elliptic curve. The main results of this paper establish a dictionary of mirror symmetry between symplectic geometry and complex geometry in the case of tori of arbitrary dimension. We wrote this dictionary in the introduction of [12]. We present the argument in a way so that it suggests a possibility of its generalization. -
On Hodge Theory and Derham Cohomology of Variétiés
On Hodge Theory and DeRham Cohomology of Vari´eti´es Pete L. Clark October 21, 2003 Chapter 1 Some geometry of sheaves 1.1 The exponential sequence on a C-manifold Let X be a complex manifold. An amazing amount of geometry of X is encoded in the long exact cohomology sequence of the exponential sequence of sheaves on X: exp £ 0 ! Z !OX !OX ! 0; where exp takes a holomorphic function f on an open subset U to the invertible holomorphic function exp(f) := e(2¼i)f on U; notice that the kernel is the constant sheaf on Z, and that the exponential map is surjective as a morphism of sheaves because every holomorphic function on a polydisk has a logarithm. Taking sheaf cohomology we get exp £ 1 1 1 £ 2 0 ! Z ! H(X) ! H(X) ! H (X; Z) ! H (X; OX ) ! H (X; OX ) ! H (X; Z); where we have written H(X) for the ring of global holomorphic functions on X. Now let us reap the benefits: I. Because of the exactness at H(X)£, we see that any nowhere vanishing holo- morphic function on any simply connected C-manifold has a logarithm – even in the complex plane, this is a nontrivial result. From now on, assume that X is compact – in particular it homeomorphic to a i finite CW complex, so its Betti numbers bi(X) = dimQ H (X; Q) are finite. This i i also implies [Cartan-Serre] that h (X; F ) = dimC H (X; F ) is finite for all co- herent analytic sheaves on X, i.e. -
AN EXPLORATION of COMPLEX JACOBIAN VARIETIES Contents 1
AN EXPLORATION OF COMPLEX JACOBIAN VARIETIES MATTHEW WOOLF Abstract. In this paper, I will describe my thought process as I read in [1] about Abelian varieties in general, and the Jacobian variety associated to any compact Riemann surface in particular. I will also describe the way I currently think about the material, and any additional questions I have. I will not include material I personally knew before the beginning of the summer, which included the basics of algebraic and differential topology, real analysis, one complex variable, and some elementary material about complex algebraic curves.

Abelian Sums (I) The first thing I read about were Abelian sums, which are sums of the form 3 X Z pi (1.1) (L) = !; i=1 p0 where ! is the meromorphic one-form dx=y, L is a line in P2 (the complex projective 2 3 2 plane), p0 is a fixed point of the cubic curve C = (y = x + ax + bx + c), and p1, p2, and p3 are the three intersections of the line L with C. The fact that C and L intersect in three points counting multiplicity is just Bezout's theorem. Since C is not simply connected, the integrals in the Abelian sum depend on the path, but there's no natural choice of path from p0 to pi, so this function depends on an arbitrary choice of path, and will not necessarily be holomorphic, or even Date: August 22, 2008. -

Torsion Subgroups of Abelian Varieties
Torsion Subgroups of Abelian Varieties Raoul Wols April 19, 2016 In this talk I will explain what abelian varieties are and introduce torsion subgroups on abelian varieties. k is always a field, and Vark always denotes the category of varieties over k. That is to say, geometrically integral sepa- rated schemes of finite type with a morphism to k. Recall that the product of two A; B 2 Vark is just the fibre product over k: A ×k B. Definition 1. Let C be a category with finite products and a terminal object 1 2 C. An object G 2 C is called a group object if G comes equipped with three morphism; namely a \unit" map e : 1 ! G; a \multiplication" map m : G × G ! G and an \inverse" map i : G ! G such that id ×m G × G × G G G × G m×idG m G × G m G commutes, which tells us that m is associative, and such that (e;id ) G G G × G idG (idG;e) m G × G m G commutes, which tells us that e is indeed the neutral \element", and such that (id ;i)◦∆ G G G × G (i;idG)◦∆ m e0 G × G m G 1 commutes, which tells us that i is indeed the map that sends \elements" to inverses. Here we use ∆ : G ! G × G to denote the diagonal map coming from the universal property of the product G × G. The map e0 is the composition G ! 1 −!e G. id Now specialize to C = Vark. The terminal object is then 1 = (Spec(k) −! Spec(k)), and giving a unit map e : 1 ! G for some scheme G over k is equivalent to giving an element e 2 G(k). -
1 Complex Theory of Abelian Varieties
1 Complex Theory of Abelian Varieties Definition 1.1. Let k be a field. A k-variety is a geometrically integral k-scheme of finite type. An abelian variety X is a proper k-variety endowed with a structure of a k-group scheme. For any point x X(k) we can defined a translation map Tx : X X by 2 ! Tx(y) = x + y. Likewise, if K=k is an extension of fields and x X(K), then 2 we have a translation map Tx : XK XK defined over K. ! Fact 1.2. Any k-group variety G is smooth. Proof. We may assume that k = k. There must be a smooth point g0 G(k), and so there must be a smooth non-empty open subset U G. Since2 G is covered by the G(k)-translations of U, G is smooth. ⊆ We now turn our attention to the analytic theory of abelian varieties by taking k = C. We can view X(C) as a compact, connected Lie group. Therefore, we start off with some basic properties of complex Lie groups. Let X be a Lie group over C, i.e., a complex manifold with a group structure whose multiplication and inversion maps are holomorphic. Let T0(X) denote the tangent space of X at the identity. By adapting the arguments from the C1-case, or combining the C1-case with the Cauchy-Riemann equations we get: Fact 1.3. For each v T0(X), there exists a unique holomorphic map of Lie 2 δ groups φv : C X such that (dφv)0 : C T0(X) satisfies (dφv)0( 0) = v. -
Riemann Forms
Riemann Forms Ching-Li Chai∗ The notion of Riemann forms began as a coordinate-free reformulation of the Riemann period relations for abelian functions discovered by Riemann. This concept has evolved with the progress in mathematics in the 150 years after Riemann. Nowadays it is often viewed from the perspective of abstract Hodge theory: a Riemann form gives an alternating pairing on a (pure) Hodge Z-structure of Hodge type f(0;−1);(−1;0)g and weight −1, with values in the “Tate twisted” version Z(1) of Z. Along more algebraic lines, the concept of Riemann forms was extended to abelian varieties over arbitrary base fields, after Weil [8] developed the theory of abelian varieties over an arbitrary base fields. For any (co)homology theory, for instance de Rham, Hodge, etale´ or crystalline cohomology theory, a Riemann form for an abelian variety is an alternating pairing induced by a polarization of A, on the first homology group H1(A) of an abelian variety A, with values in H1(Gm), the first Tate twist of the homology of a point. A synopsis for the case of etale´ cohomology is given in x2. x1. From Riemann matrices to Riemann forms A version of theorem 1.1 appeared in [3, pp. 148–150], preceded by the high praise “il est extremement` remarquable est c’est a` M. le Dr. Riemann, de Gottingue,¨ qu’on doit cette decouverte´ analytique . ” from Hermite. This theorem is stated in terms of period matrices for abelian functions in the article on Riemann bilinear relations; see [7, Ch.
