Abstract

Let XX be a smooth geometrically connected projective curve over the field of fractions of a discrete valuation ring RR, and m\mathfrak{m} a modulus on XX, given by a closed subscheme of XX which is geometrically reduced. The generalized Jacobian JmJ_\mathfrak{m} of XX with respect to m\mathfrak{m} is then an extension of the Jacobian of XX by a torus. We describe its N\'eron model, together with the character and component groups of the special fibre, in terms of a regular model of XX over RR. This generalizes Raynaud's well-known description for the usual Jacobian. We also give some computations for generalized Jacobians of modular curves X0(N)X_0(N) with moduli supported on the cusps.
