An arithmetic valuative criterion for proper maps of tame algebraic stacks

Abstract

The valuative criterion for proper maps of schemes has many applications in arithmetic, e.g. specializing Qp\mathbb{Q}_{p}-points to Fp\mathbb{F}_{p}-points. For algebraic stacks, the usual valuative criterion for proper maps is ill-suited for these kind of arguments, since it only gives a specialization point defined over an extension of the residue field, e.g. a Qp\mathbb{Q}_{p}-point will specialize to an Fpn\mathbb{F}_{p^{n}}-point for some nn. We give a new valuative criterion for proper maps of tame stacks which solves this problem and is well-suited for arithmetic applications. As a consequence, we prove that the Lang-Nishimura theorem holds for tame stacks.
