Picard Variety

Let $V$ be a Variety, and write $G(V)$ for the set of divisors, $G_l(V)$ for the set of divisors linearly equivalent to 0, and $G_a(V)$ for the group of divisors algebraically equal to 0. Then $G_a(V)/G_l(V)$ is called the Picard variety. The Albanese Variety is dual to the Picard variety.
