Extract

Let Λ be a lattice in Cn such that the field of Abelian functions on the quotient space Cn/Λ is of transcendence degree n. This implies that is an algebraic extension of a field o of pure transcendence degree n. Thus there exists a vector A = (A1 …, An) of algebraically independent functions of the variable z = (z1, …, zn) and a function B = B(z), algebraic over

such that
