Abstract

R. Coleman and K. McMurdy compute the stable reduction of X0(p3).X_0(p^3). On the basis of their ideas, we compute the stable reduction of X0(p4).X_0(p^4). As a result, in the stable reduction of X0(p4)X_0(p^4), we find irreducible components, defined by apa=tp+1a^p-a=t^{p+1}. These components are called Deligne-Lusztig curve for SL2(Fp).{\rm SL}_2(\mathbb{F}_p). We also compute the intersection multiplicity datum in the stable reduction of X0(p4)X_0(p^4).
