contents The rank $ρ$ of the Néron-Severi group of a complex torus $X$ of dimension $g$ satisfies $0\leqρ\leq g^2=h^{1,1}.$ The degree $\mathfrak{d}$ of the extension field generated over $\mathbb{Q}$ by the entries of a period matrix of $X$ imposes constraints on its Picard number $ρ$ and, consequently, on the structure of $X$. In this paper, we show that when $\mathfrak{d}$ is $2$, $3$, or $4$, the Picard number $ρ$ is necessarily large. Moreover, for an abelian variety $X$ of dimension $g$ with $\mathfrak{d}=3,$ we establish a structure-type result: $X$ must be isogenous to $E^g$, where $E$ is an elliptic curve without complex multiplication. In this case, the Picard number satisfies $ρ(X)=\frac{g(g+1)}{2}.$ As a byproduct, we obtain that if $\mathfrak{d}$ is odd, then $ρ(X)\leq\frac{g(g+1)}{2}.$

The rank $ρ$ of the Néron-Severi group of a complex torus $X$ of dimension $g$ satisfies $0\leqρ\leq g^2=h^{1,1}.$ The degree $\mathfrak{d}$ of the extension field generated over $\mathbb{Q}$ by the entries of a period matrix of $X$ imposes constraints on its Picard number $ρ$ and, consequently, on the structure of $X$. In this paper, we show that when $\mathfrak{d}$ is $2$, $3$, or $4$, the Picard number $ρ$ is necessarily large. Moreover, for an abelian variety $X$ of dimension $g$ with $\mathfrak{d}=3,$ we establish a structure-type result: $X$ must be isogenous to $E^g$, where $E$ is an elliptic curve without complex multiplication. In this case, the Picard number satisfies $ρ(X)=\frac{g(g+1)}{2}.$ As a byproduct, we obtain that if $\mathfrak{d}$ is odd, then $ρ(X)\leq\frac{g(g+1)}{2}.$
