 Compact connected complex Lie groups are complex tori

Every scalar holomorphic function on a compact connected complex manifold is constant by the maximum modulus principle. Apply this to each entry of the holomorphic Adjoint representation of a Lie group; its value is constantly the identity. Differentiation makes the complex Lie algebra abelian, hence connectedness makes the group abelian. The holomorphic Lie exponential map identifies it with ${\mathbb{C}}^n$ modulo a discrete subgroup. Compactness forces that subgroup to span the underlying real vector space, giving a full-rank Euclidean lattice and a complex torus.
