Historically, Mukai's equivalence with the Poincare bundle on the product of an abelian variety and its dual as kernel was the fist Fourier-Mukai transform. The first section in this chapter functions as a reminder of the basic facts from the rich theory of abelian varieties, and the case of principally polarized abelian varieties is studied. A general investigation of derived equivalences between abelian varieties and derived autoequivalences of a single abelian variety is included.
