It is with considerable pleasure that we have seen in recent years the simplifications expected by Weil realize themselves, and it has seemed timely to incorporate them into a new book. We treat exclusively abelian varieties, and have summarized in a first chapter all the general results on algebraic groups that are used in the sequel. We then deal with the Jacobian variety of a curve, the Albanese variety of an arbitrary variety, and its Picard variety, i.e., the theory of cycles of dimension 0 and co dimension 1. The numerical theory which gives the number of points of finite order on an abelian variety, and the properties of the trace of an endomorphism are simple formal consequences of the theory of the Picard variety and of numerical equivalence. The same thing holds for the Lefschetz fixed point formula for a curve, and hence for the Riemann hypothesis for curves. Roughly speaking, it can be said that the theory of the Albanese and Picard variety incorporates in purely algebraic terms the theory which in the classical case would be that of the first homology group.
