Lange, H. Projective embeddings of abelian varieties. (English) Zbl 0765.14026 Jahresber. Dtsch. Math.-Ver. 93, No. 4, 161-174 (1991). In this report I would like to give a survey on some old and recent results on the geometry not only of Jacobians, but slightly more generally, of all polarized abelian varieties. Before doing this, I would like to give some examples of problems and subjects where these more general abelian varieties turn up.
