Given a smooth, proper curve $C$ over a discretely valued field $k$, we equip the $k$-vector space $H^{0}(C,\omega_{C/k})$ with a canonical discrete valuation $v_{\mathrm{can}}$ which measures how canonical forms degenerate on regular…

We investigate N\'eron models of Jacobians of singular curves over strictly Henselian discretely valued fields, and their behaviour under tame base change. For a semiabelian variety, this behaviour is governed by a finite sequence of (a…

Let $X$ be a smooth curve defined over the fraction field $K$ of a complete d.v.r. $R$, and let $K'/K$ be a tame extension. We study extensions of the $G = \Gal(K'/K)$-action on $ X_{K'} $ to certain regular models of $X_{K'}$ over $R'$,…

We define an algebraic analogue, in the case of jacobians of curves, of the height jump divisor introduced recently by R. Hain. We give explicit combinatorial formulae for the height jump for families of semistable curves using labelled…

Let $\mathcal{O}_K$ be a complete discrete valuation ring with field of fractions $K$ and algebraically closed residue field $k.$ Let $G$ be a smooth connected commutative algebraic group over $K$ which does not contain a copy of…

We study a trace formula for tamely ramified abelian varieties $A$ over a complete discretely valued field, which expresses the Euler characteristic of the special fiber of the N\'eron model of $A$ in terms of the Galois action on the…

We study various aspects of the behaviour of N\'eron models of semi-abelian varieties under finite extensions of the base field, with a special emphasis on wildly ramified Jacobians. In Part 1, we analyze the behaviour of the component…

Let $K$ be a field which is complete for a discrete valuation. We prove a logarithmic version of the N\'eron-Ogg-Shafarevich criterion: if $A$ is an abelian variety over $K$ which is cohomologically tame, then $A$ has good reduction in the…

Inspired by the work of Ellenberg, Elsholtz, Hall, and Kowalski, we investigate how the property of the generic fiber of a one-parameter family of abelian varieties being geometrically simple extends to other fibers. In \cite{EEHK09}, the…

Suppose that $\mathcal{E}$ is a vector bundle on a smooth projective variety $X$. Given a family of curves $C$ on $X$, we study how the Harder-Narasimhan filtration of $\mathcal{E}|_{C}$ changes as we vary $C$ in our family. Heuristically…

We show that the Jacobians of prestable curves over toroidal varieties always admit N\'eron models. These models are rarely quasi-compact or separated, but we also give a complete classification of quasi-compact separated group-models of…

We extend the formulae of classical invariant theory for the Jacobian of a genus one curve of degree $n \le 4$ to curves of arbitrary degree. To do this, we associate to each genus one normal curve of degree $n$, an $n \times n$ alternating…

We characterize stable curves $X$ whose compactified degree-$d$ Jacobian is of N\'eron type. This means the following: for any one-parameter regular smoothing of $X$, the special fiber of the N\'eron model of the Jacobian of the generic…

We present an efficient endomorphism for the Jacobian of a curve $C$ of genus 2 (hyperelliptic) for divisors having a Non disjoint support. This extends the work of Costello and Lauter in [12] who calculated explicit formulae for divisor…

We use the jump problem technique developed in a recent paper by Grushevsky, Krichever and the second author to compute the variational formula of any stable differential and its periods to arbitrary precision in plumbing coordinates. In…

We show that any polarized abelian variety over a finite field is covered by a Jacobian whose dimension is bounded by an explicit constant. We do this by first proving an effective version of Poonen's Bertini theorem over finite fields,…

We study abelian varieties defined over function fields of curves in positive characteristic $p$, focusing on their arithmetic within the system of Artin-Schreier extensions. First, we prove that the $L$-function of such an abelian variety…

This paper is concerned with the complexity and stability of arithmetic operations in the jacobian variety of curves over the field of complex numbers, as the genus grows to infinity. We focus on modular curves. Efficient and stable…

It follows from the Grothendieck-Ogg-Shafarevich formula that the rank of an abelian variety (with trivial trace) defined over the function field of a curve is bounded by a quantity which depends on the genus of the base curve and on bad…

Inspired by several works on jet schemes and motivic integration, we consider an extension to singular varieties of the classical definition of discrepancy for morphisms of smooth varieties. The resulting invariant, which we call Jacobian…
