Download or read book Introduction to Abelian Varieties written by Vijaya Kumar Murty and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 1993 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents an elementary and self-contained approach to Abelian varieties, a subject that plays a central role in algebraic and analytic geometry, number theory, and complex analysis. The book is based on notes from a course given at Concordia University and would be useful for independent study or as a textbook for graduate courses in complex analysis, Riemann surfaces, number theory, or analytic geometry. Murty works mostly over the complex numbers, discussing the theorem of Abel-Jacobi and Lefschetz's theorem on projective embeddings. After presenting some examples, Murty touches on Abelian varieties over number fields, as well as the conjecture of Tate (Faltings's theorem) and its relation to Mordell's conjecture. References are provided to guide the reader in further study.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Classical algebraic geometry, inseparably connected with the names of Abel, Riemann, Weierstrass, Poincaré, Clebsch, Jacobi and other outstanding mathematicians of the last century, was mainly an analytical theory. In our century it has been enriched by the methods and ideas of topology, commutative algebra and Grothendieck's schemes seemed to have replaced once and forever the somewhat naive language of classical algebraic geometry. This book contains more than its modest title suggests. Written in 1897, its scope was as broad as it could possibly be, namely to cover the whole of algebraic geometry, and associated theories. The subject is discussed by Baker in terms of transcendental functions, and in particular theta functions. Many of the ideas put forward are of continuing relevance today, and some of the most exciting ideas from theoretical physics draw on work presented here.

Download or read book Algebraic Numbers and Algebraic Functions written by P.M. Cohn and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-01-18 with total page 204 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an introduction to the theory of algebraic numbers and algebraic functions of one variable. The basic development is the same for both using E Artin's legant approach, via valuations. Number Theory is pursued as far as the unit theorem and the finiteness of the class number. In function theory the aim is the Abel-Jacobi theorem describing the devisor class group, with occasional geometrical asides to help understanding. Assuming only an undergraduate course in algebra, plus a little acquaintance with topology and complex function theory, the book serves as an introduction to more technical works in algebraic number theory, function theory or algebraic geometry by an exposition of the central themes in the subject.

Download or read book Abelian Varieties with Complex Multiplication and Modular Functions written by Goro Shimura and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2016-06-02 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reciprocity laws of various kinds play a central role in number theory. In the easiest case, one obtains a transparent formulation by means of roots of unity, which are special values of exponential functions. A similar theory can be developed for special values of elliptic or elliptic modular functions, and is called complex multiplication of such functions. In 1900 Hilbert proposed the generalization of these as the twelfth of his famous problems. In this book, Goro Shimura provides the most comprehensive generalizations of this type by stating several reciprocity laws in terms of abelian varieties, theta functions, and modular functions of several variables, including Siegel modular functions. This subject is closely connected with the zeta function of an abelian variety, which is also covered as a main theme in the book. The third topic explored by Shimura is the various algebraic relations among the periods of abelian integrals. The investigation of such algebraicity is relatively new, but has attracted the interest of increasingly many researchers. Many of the topics discussed in this book have not been covered before. In particular, this is the first book in which the topics of various algebraic relations among the periods of abelian integrals, as well as the special values of theta and Siegel modular functions, are treated extensively.
Download or read book Complex Abelian Varieties and Theta Functions written by George R. Kempf and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abelian varieties are a natural generalization of elliptic curves to higher dimensions, whose geometry and classification are as rich in elegant results as in the one-dimensional ease. The use of theta functions, particularly since Mumford's work, has been an important tool in the study of abelian varieties and invertible sheaves on them. Also, abelian varieties play a significant role in the geometric approach to modern algebraic number theory. In this book, Kempf has focused on the analytic aspects of the geometry of abelian varieties, rather than taking the alternative algebraic or arithmetic points of view. His purpose is to provide an introduction to complex analytic geometry. Thus, he uses Hermitian geometry as much as possible. One distinguishing feature of Kempf's presentation is the systematic use of Mumford's theta group. This allows him to give precise results about the projective ideal of an abelian variety. In its detailed discussion of the cohomology of invertible sheaves, the book incorporates material previously found only in research articles. Also, several examples where abelian varieties arise in various branches of geometry are given as a conclusion of the book.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An excerpt from the PREFACE: THE present volume consists of two parts; the first of these deals with the theory of hyper-elliptic functions of two variables, the second with the reduction of the theory of general multiply-periodic functions to the theory of algebraic functions; taken together they furnish what is intended to be an elementary and self-contained introduction to many of the leading ideas of the theory of multiply-periodic functions, with the incidental aim of aiding the comprehension of the importance of this theory in analytical geometry. The first part is centred round some remarkable differential equations satisfied by the functions, which appear to be equally illuminative both of the analytical and geometrical aspects of the theory; it was in fact to explain this that the book was originally entered upon. The account has no pretensions to completeness: being anxious to explain the properties of the functions from the beginning, I have been debarred from following Humbert's brilliant monograph, which assumes from the first Poincare's theorem as to the number of zeros common to two theta functions; this theorem is reached in this volume, certainly in a generalised form, only in the last chapter of PartII.: being anxious to render the geometrical portions of the volume quite elementary, I have not been able to utilise the theory of quadratic complexes, which has proved so powerful in this connexion in the hands of Kummer and Klein; and, for both these reasons, the account given here, and that given in the remarkable book from the pen of R. W. H. T. Hudson, will, I believe, only be regarded by readers as complementary. The theory of Kummer's surface, and of the theta functions, has been much studied since the year (1847 or before) in which Gopel first obtained the biquadratic relation connecting four theta functions; and Wirtinger has shown, in his "Untersuchungen uber Thetafunctionen," which has helped me in several ways in the second part of this volume, that the theory is capable of generalisation, in many of its results, to space of "2p-1" dimensions; but even in the case of two variables there is a certain inducement, not to come to too close quarters with the details, in the fact of the existence of sixteen theta functions connected together by many relations, at least in the minds of beginners. I hope therefore that the treatment here followed, which reduces the theory, in a very practical way, to that of one theta function and three periodic functions connected by an algebraic equation, may recommend itself to others, and, in a humble way, serve the purpose of the earlier books on elliptic functions, of encouraging a wider use of the functions in other branches of mathematics. The slightest examination will show that, even for the functions of two variables, many of the problems entered upon demand further study; while, for the hyper-elliptic functions of "p" variables, for which the forms of the corresponding differential equations are known, there exist constructs, of "p" dimensions, in space of "1/2p (p+1) " dimensions, which await similar investigatio
Download or read book An Introduction to Algebraic Geometry and Algebraic Groups written by Meinolf Geck and published by Clarendon Press. This book was released on 2013-03-14 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An accessible text introducing algebraic geometries and algebraic groups at advanced undergraduate and early graduate level, this book develops the language of algebraic geometry from scratch and uses it to set up the theory of affine algebraic groups from first principles. Building on the background material from algebraic geometry and algebraic groups, the text provides an introduction to more advanced and specialised material. An example is the representation theory of finite groups of Lie type. The text covers the conjugacy of Borel subgroups and maximal tori, the theory of algebraic groups with a BN-pair, a thorough treatment of Frobenius maps on affine varieties and algebraic groups, zeta functions and Lefschetz numbers for varieties over finite fields. Experts in the field will enjoy some of the new approaches to classical results. The text uses algebraic groups as the main examples, including worked out examples, instructive exercises, as well as bibliographical and historical remarks.

Download or read book Complex Abelian Varieties written by Herbert Lange and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-03-09 with total page 443 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abelian varieties are special examples of projective varieties. As such theycan be described by a set of homogeneous polynomial equations. The theory ofabelian varieties originated in the beginning of the ninetheenth centrury with the work of Abel and Jacobi. The subject of this book is the theory of abelian varieties over the field of complex numbers, and it covers the main results of the theory, both classic and recent, in modern language. It is intended to give a comprehensive introduction to the field, but also to serve as a reference. The focal topics are the projective embeddings of an abelian variety, their equations and geometric properties. Moreover several moduli spaces of abelian varieties with additional structure are constructed. Some special results onJacobians and Prym varieties allow applications to the theory of algebraic curves. The main tools for the proofs are the theta group of a line bundle, introduced by Mumford, and the characteristics, to be associated to any nondegenerate line bundle. They are a direct generalization of the classical notion of characteristics of theta functions.

This book was released on 1974-12-12 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The study of abelian manifolds forms a natural generalization of the theory of elliptic functions, that is, of doubly periodic functions of one complex variable. When an abelian manifold is embedded in a projective space it is termed an abelian variety in an algebraic geometrical sense. This introduction presupposes little more than a basic course in complex variables. The notes contain all the material on abelian manifolds needed for application to geometry and number theory, although they do not contain an exposition of either application. Some geometrical results are included however.
