“Rational Maps”

I am going to establish some results concerning rational maps into abelian varieties. In no particular order, these are the following results:
1) Any rational map from a smooth variety to an abelian variety is in fact a morphism 2) Any rational map from An or Pn to an abelian variety is constant 3) Birationally equivalent abelian varieties are isomorphic (as abelian varieties).
