Quasi-compactness of N\'eron models, and an application to torsion points

Algebraic Geometry 2016-04-08 v2 Number Theory

Abstract

We prove that N\'eron models of jacobians of generically-smooth nodal curves over bases of arbitrary dimension are quasi-compact (hence of finite type) whenever they exist. We give a simple application to the orders of torsion subgroups of jacobians over number fields.
