contents We explain how algebraic geometry comes into play in the study of non-linear mean field (singular Liouville) equations $$ \triangle u + e^u = 4π\sum_{i = 1}^N \ell_i δ_{p_i} $$ on a flat torus $E = \Bbb C/Λ$, where $N, \ell_1, \ldots, \ell_N \in \Bbb N$, $p_i \in E$ are distinct points, and $δ_{p_i}$ is the Dirac measure at $p_i$. The case with one singular source ($N = 1$) had been studied extensively in recent years. We start with a survey of this case with emphasizes on the constructions of Lamé curves $\overline X_n$ and pre-modular forms $Z_n(σ, τ)$ which encodes the structure of solutions of the PDE. We then discuss extensions to the case of general $N$. The basic tool is the monodromy theory for generalized Lamé equations. Two aspects are discussed: (1) For $\ell := \sum_{i = 1}^N \ell_i$ being odd, an exact counting formula of \emph{algebraic degree} is proved. (2) For $\ell$ being even, the existence of generalized Lamé curves parametrizing logarithmic-free solutions is proposed.
