iv
For an abelian variety X, consider the commutator morphism
c:X×X⟶X,c(x,y)=xyx−1y−1.
(1)
It is the identity whenever either coordinate is the identity. The Mumford rigidity lemma applied successively to the two complete connected factors makes c constant everywhere; its value at (e,e) is e. Therefore every pair of points commutes, so the group law is commutative.
