Abstract

Let CC be a hyperelliptic curve over a local field KK with odd residue characteristic, defined by some affine Weierstrass equation y2=f(x)y^2=f(x). We assume that CC has semistable reduction and denote by XSpecOK\mathcal{X} \rightarrow \textrm{Spec}\, \mathcal{O}_K its minimal regular model with relative dualizing sheaf ωX/OK\omega_{\mathcal{X}/ \mathcal{O}_K}. We show how to directly read off a basis for H0(X,ωX/OK)H^0(\mathcal{X},\omega_{\mathcal{X}/\mathcal{O}_K}) from the cluster picture of the roots of ff. Furthermore we give a formula for the valuation of λ\lambda such that λdxyxg1dxy\lambda \cdot \frac{dx}{y} \land \dots \land x^{g-1}\frac{dx}{y} is a generator for detH0(X,ωX/OK)\det H^0(\mathcal{X},\omega_{\mathcal{X}/\mathcal{O}_K}).
