In algebraic geometry an Abelian surface over a field is a two dimensional Abelian variety. Every abelian surface is either a Jacobian variety of a smooth hyperelliptic curve of genus two, or a product of two elliptic curves. Abelian surfaces are one of the two types of algebraic surfaces with trivial canonical class, the other type being algebraic K3 surfaces.
