Complex Abelian Varieties (Paperback, Softcover reprint of hardcover 2nd ed. 2004)

This book explores the theory of abelian varieties over the field of complex numbers, explaining both classic and recent results in modern language. The second edition adds five chapters on recent results including automorphisms and vector bundles on abelian varieties, algebraic cycles and the Hodge conjecture. ." . . far more readable than most . . . it is also much more complete." Olivier Debarre in Mathematical Reviews, 1994.
