Abelian Varieties
Semester
WiSe 2024 / 25

Lecturer
Julio de Mello Bezerra

Type of course (Veranstaltungsart)
Seminar

German title
Abelsche Varietäten

Contents
Abelian Varieties are multidimensional generalizations of elliptic curves, in the sense that they
are algebraic varieties with an abelian group structure, which are ubiquitous in algebraic geometry
and number theory. We will learn their definition and properties, and depending on the background
and interest of the students, we may also study their analytic properties and classification over
the complex numbers, as well as arithmetic applications from the theory developed.

Literature
Abelian Varieties - Mumford (2nd ed.)

Recommended previous knowledge
Algebraic Geometry I. Algebraic Geometry II is also recommended, as the more advanced talks will use
sheaf cohomology, but some of these notions can be recalled during the talks depending on the
background of the students
