Abelian surface

In mathematics, an abelian surface is 2-dimensional abelian variety. In mathematics, an abelian surface is 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. 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.
