Abstract
The essential dimension, ed_k(G), of an algebraic group G is an invariant that measures the complexity of G-torsors over fields. The correspondence between algebraic tori and finite subgroups of GL_n(Z) means one can establish bounds on ed_k(T) of an algebraic torus T by studying the action of the corresponding subgroup of GL_n(Z).
