Abstract

It is well known that for a regular semistable curve X\mathfrak X over a DVR with algebraically closed residue field, the spanning trees of the dual graph of the special fiber of X\mathfrak X are in bijection with components of the special fiber of the N\'eron model of the Jacobian of X\mathfrak X. We prove a generalization of this fact that does not require the residue field to be algebraically closed, using a combinatorially enriched version of the dual graph to encode arithmetic information about divisors on X\mathfrak X.
