Normal distribution of bad reduction

Number Theory 2023-05-26 v1 Algebraic Geometry

Abstract

We prove normal distribution laws for primes of bad semistable reduction in families of curves. As a consequence, we deduce that when ordered by height, 100%100\% of curves in these families have, in a precise sense, many such primes.
