Abstract: We apply the theory of $M$-regularity developed by the authors [Regularity on abelian varieties, I, J. Amer. Math. Soc. 16 (2003), 285–302] to the study of linear series given by multiples of ample line bundles on abelian varieties. We define an invariant of a line bundle, called $M$-regularity index, which governs the higher order properties and (partly conjecturally) the defining equations of such embeddings. We prove a general result on the behavior of the defining equations and higher syzygies in embeddings given by multiples of ample bundles whose base locus has no fixed components, extending a conjecture of Lazarsfeld [proved in Syzygies of abelian varieties, J. Amer. Math. Soc. 13 (2000), 651–664]. This approach also unifies essentially all the previously known results in this area, and is based on Fourier-Mukai techniques rather than representations of theta groups.
