Basket of Fruit (Caravaggio) Basket of Fruit (Caravaggio) Basket of Fruit (c.1599) is a still life painting by the Italian Baroque master Michelangelo Merisi da Caravaggio (1571–1610), which hangs in the Biblioteca Ambrosiana (Ambrosian Library), Milan. It shows a wicker basket perched on the edge of a ledge. The basket contains a selection of summer fruit: ... a good-sized, light-red peach attached to a stem with wormholes in the leaf resembling damage by oriental fruit moth (Orthosia hibisci). Beneath it is a single bicolored apple, shown from a stem perspective with two insect entry holes, probably codling moth, one of which shows secondary rot
Abelian variety of CM-type Abelian variety of CM-type In mathematics, an abelian variety "A" defined over a field "K" is said to have CM-type if it has a large enough commutative subring in its endomorphism ring End("A"). The terminology here is from complex multiplication theory, which was developed for elliptic curves in the nineteenth century. One of the major achievements in algebraic number theory and algebraic geometry of the twentieth century was to find the correct formulations of the corresponding theory for abelian varieties of dimension "d" > 1. The problem is at a deeper level of abstraction, because it is much harder to
