All quotients are diffeomorphic to the real torus after choosing a real basis of the lattice. The complex structure is nevertheless visible in cohomology: under the cap-product period pairing, is an -dimensional subspace ofand its elements are exactly the period homomorphisms of holomorphic one-forms.
A biholomorphism pulls onto and induces an element of on integral first homology. The group is countable, so the orbit of any one period subspace is countable. On the other hand, varying a period parameter in the upper half-plane in lattices generated by and produces uncountably many such subspaces. Two choices lying in distinct -orbits therefore give diffeomorphic but nonbiholomorphic complex -tori.
