Complex torus, C^n/Λ versus (C*)^n
The difference between an Abelian variety and $\mathbb{C}^n/\Lambda$ is that an abelian variety is polarized; that is, it comes with an ample line bundle, which yields an embedding into $\mathbb{P}^m$ …

What can we say about tropical maps $\mathbb{P}^1 \to A$ for an Abelian variety $A$?
It's well known that maps $\mathbb{P}^1_\mathbb{C} \to A$ are constant for any Abelian variety $A$ (in fact, for any complex torus).
Is there any similar statement in the tropical case? Naively, the …

Ramification of the map from the stack of elliptic curves to the $j$-line
I would guess that the following argument should work.
By definition, the map $\mathbb{H} \to \mathcal{M}_{1,1} = [SL_2\mathbb{Z} \setminus \mathbb{H}]$ is unramified. However, the map $\mathbb{H} \t …

Meaning of $g_d^r$ in algebraic geometry
As I understand, a $g_d^r$ is a linear system of dimeansion $r$ and degree $d$. Basically, these give you maps to $\mathbb{P}^r$ of degree $d$. The simplest example is of course hyperelliptic curves; …

Is there an intrinsic way to define the group law on Abelian varieties?
On an elliptic curve given by a degree three equation y^2 = x(x - 1)(x - λ), we can define the group law in the following way (cf. Hartshorne):
We note that the map to its Jacobian given by $\mathca …

What is the difference between the moduli space of curves and the moduli space of orbi-curves?
Edit: In my original framing of this question it was not so clear what I was looking for, so this is basically a re-write.
I feel that I should already know the answer to this, but it never sits quit …

What is the meaning of non-Hausdorff spaces in algebraic geometry
One of the things to think about in Algebraic Geometry is that the natural topology (Zariski topology) is the wrong topology, at least in part for the reasons you describe. There are other "topologies …

What are the benefits of viewing a sheaf from the "espace étalé" perspective?
I learned the definition of a sheaf from Hartshorne—that is, as a (co-)functor from the category of open sets of a topological space (with morphisms given by inclusions) to, say, the category of sets. …

Elliptic curves on abelian surface
No. In general, there are no elliptic curves on an Abelian surface.
Thinking in terms of lattices, if there is an elliptic curve on $A$, then there is a rank 2 sublattice of $\Lambda$ (Where $A = \m …

Describing the kernel of the exponential map as a homology group
This morally sounds like it should be related to the exponential sequence in sheaf cohomology, but I don't immediately see how... Although, absent the torus (which I take as meaning $(\mathbb{C}^\time …

$\psi$ class in $\overline{M}_{0,n}$
Unless you mean something else when you write $\psi$ class, it is expressible in terms of boundary divisors.
That is, if $\psi_i$ is the $i$-th cotangent bundle, then you can write it in terms of bou …

on a Deformation long exact sequence of moduli space of stable maps
I don't believe that this is correct. The easiest way to see this is to look at your second question: The automorphisms/deformations/obstructions of a curve come from $H^i(C, T_C)$, i.e. they are the …

How is the propagator computed on an elliptic curve?
I've been struggling for a while now understanding why the propagator for the action

S(\varphi) = \int_E \partial \varphi \bar\partial\varphi + \frac{\lambda}{6}(\partial\varphi)^3

What does it mean for a Deligne-Mumford stack to have trivial generic stabilizers?
The comment by user76758 hits the nail pretty much perfectly on the head. That said, it might be good to see an example of something that does not satisfy this condition:
Let $X$ be any scheme, and l …

Mirror symmetry for polarized abelian surfaces and Shioda-Inose K3s
It is well known (cf. Dolgachev) that there is a beautiful notion of mirror symmetry for lattice-polarized K3 surfaces. That is, if we are given a rank $r$ lattice $M$ of signature $(1, r - 1)$ and a …
