Description: "This work is at the crossroads of a number of mathematical areas, including algebraic geometry, several complex variables, differential geometry, and representation theory. The authors, both expert mathematicians in the area of complex manifolds and representation theory, focus on complex tori, which are interesting for their own sake being the simplest of complex manifolds, and important in the theory of algebraic cycles via intermediate Jacobians.

Although special complex tori, namely abelian varieties, have been investigated for nearly 200 years, not much is known about arbitrary complex tori."--BOOK JACKET. "Complex Tori is aimed at the mathematician and graduate student and will be useful in the classroom or as a resource for self-study."--BOOK JACKET.
