This needs disambiguation: Jacobian can also refer to an abelian variety associated to an algebraic curve, whose genus is equal to the dimension of the Jacobian variety.Barry R. Smith 04:08, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

I agree, but it means that we have to specialize the names. Would Jacobian (analysis) and Jacobian (differential geometry) be OK? Or do you have a better suggestion? --Paul Wormer 07:49, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
PS I would appreciate it if you, as mathematician, would have a look at Jacobian, written by me as mathematical amateur. --Paul Wormer 08:02, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
