Algebraic torus

In mathematics, an algebraic torus, where a one dimensional torus is typically denoted by , , or , is a type of commutative affine algebraic group commonly found in projective algebraic geometry and toric geometry. Higher dimensional algebraic tori can be modelled as a product of algebraic groups . These groups were named by analogy with the theory of tori in Lie group theory (see Cartan subgroup). For example, over the complex numbers the algebraic torus is isomorphic to the group scheme , which is the scheme theoretic analogue of the Lie group . In fact, any -action on a complex vector space can be pulled back to a -action from the inclusion as real manifolds. Tori are of fundamental importance in the theory of algebraic groups and Lie groups and in the study of the geometric objects associated to them such as symmetric spaces and buildings. (Wikipedia).

Two-dimensional objects--the torus and genus | Algebraic Topology 5 | NJ Wildberger

This is the 5th lecture of this beginners course in Algebraic Topology. We introduce some other surfaces: the cylinder, the torus or doughnut, and the n-holed torus. We define the genus of a surface in terms of maximal number of disjoint curves that do not disconnect it. We discuss how the

Gluing a Torus

Gluing is a good method to construct new topological spaces from known ones. Here a rectangles is glued along the edges to form a torus. Often the fundamental group of the glued object can be calculated from the pieces (here a rectangles) and the glue (here two intersecting circles). Th

AlgTop5: Two-dimensional objects- the torus and genus

We introduce some surfaces: the cylinder, the torus or doughnut, and the n-holed torus. We define the genus of a surface in terms of maximal number of disjoint curves that do not disconnect it. We discuss how the plane covers the cylinder and the torus, and the associated group of translat

What is... an elliptic curve?

In this talk, we will define elliptic curves and, more importantly, we will try to motivate why they are central to modern number theory. Elliptic curves are ubiquitous not only in number theory, but also in algebraic geometry, complex analysis, cryptography, physics, and beyond. They were

BAG1.2. Toric Varieties 2 - Affine Toric Varieties

Basic Algebraic Geometry: We define affine toric varieties. There are four ways to characterize ATVs and we note three here: as the Zariski closure of a torus in C^s; as the space for a torus group action; and as the variety of a toric ideal.

Applied topology 3: A punctured torus is homotopy equivalent to a figure eight

Applied topology 3: A punctured torus is homotopy equivalent to a figure eight Abstract: We give an impromptu explanation of why a punctured torus (i.e., a torus with a single point removed) is homotopy equivalent to a figure eight (i.e., two circles glued together at a single point). In
