Abstract
To a smooth proper curve over a field equipped with a -point and an effective divisor coprime to , one may associate the abstract group of -points of the generalized Jacobian, as well as a subset We show that the data can be retrieved from (*) up to a twist by an automorphism of , proving a conjecture of Booher and Voloch. By a result of Booher and Voloch this shows that when is a finite field, the same data may also be retrieved from -functions of characters of certain Galois extensions of the function field of . The proof is a generalization of Zilber's well known work "A curve and its abstract Jacobian".
