Abstract
This is one of the two most important chapters of this book. In it, we prove (based on the existence theorems of the previous chapter) the three most important theorems concerning compact Riemann surfaces: the Riemann-Roch theorem, Abel’s theorem, and the Jacobi inversion theorem. Many applications of these theorems are obtained; and the simplest compact Riemann surfaces, the hyperelliptic ones, are discussed in great detail.
