Abstract
Let be a smooth geometrically connected projective curve over the field of fractions of a discrete valuation ring , and a modulus on , given by a closed subscheme of which is geometrically reduced. The generalized Jacobian of with respect to is then an extension of the Jacobian of 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 over . This generalizes Raynaud's well-known description for the usual Jacobian. We also give some computations for generalized Jacobians of modular curves with moduli supported on the cusps.
