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 study the structure of Jacobians of geometrically reduced curves over arbitrary (i. e., not necessarily perfect) fields. We show that, while such a group scheme cannot in general be decomposed into an affine and an Abelian part as over…

We investigate to what extent the theory of N\'eron models of jacobians and of abel-jacobi maps extends to relative curves over base schemes of dimension greater than 1. We give a necessary and sufficient criterion for the existence of a…

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…

Let S be a Dedekind scheme with field of functions K. We show that if X_K is a smooth connected proper curve of positive genus over K, then it admits a N\'eron model over S, i.e., a smooth separated model of finite type satisfying the usual…

We study Esteves's fine compactified Jacobians for nodal curves. We give a proof of the fact that, for a one-parameter regular local smoothing of a nodal curve $X$, the relative smooth locus of a relative fine compactified Jacobian is…

Let R be a discrete valuation ring with algebraically closed residue field, and consider a smooth curve CK over the field of fractions K. For any positive integer r prime to the residual characteristic, we consider the finite K-group scheme…

Let $X$ be a proper, smooth, and geometrically connected curve over a non-archimedean local field $K$. In this paper, we relate the component group of the N\'eron model of the Jacobian of $X$ to the Brauer group of $X$.

In this paper, we study combinatorial properties of stable curves. To the dual graph of any nodal curve, it is naturally associated a group, which is the group of components of the N\'eron model of the generalized Jacobian of the curve. We…

Let $(\mathcal C,\otimes,1)$ be an abelian symmetric monoidal category satisfying certain conditions and let $X$ be a scheme over $(\mathcal C,\otimes,1)$ in the sense of To\"en and Vaqui\'{e}. In this paper we show that when $X$ is…

We consider the problem of constructing universal N\'eron models for families of curves with sections. By applying a construction of the author of universal compactified Jacobians over the moduli stack of reduced curves with markings and a…

We prove that closed manifolds admitting a generic metric whose sectional curvature is locally quasi-constant are graphs of space forms. In the more general setting of QC spaces where sets of isotropic points are arbitrary, under suitable…

We introduce N\'eron models of formally finite type for uniformly rigid spaces, and we prove that they generalize the notion of formal N\'eron models for rigid-analytic groups as it was defined by Bosch and Schl\"oter. Using this…

We prove that there exist some stacks, representable over the stack of stable curves, having the following universal property with respect to N\'eron models of Jacobians. For every one-parameter family of stable curves, with regular total…

The jacobian of the universal curve over $\mathcal{M}_{g,n}$ is an abelian scheme over $\mathcal{M}_{g,n}$. Our main result is the construction of an algebraic space $\beta\colon \tilde{\mathcal{M}}_{g,n} \rightarrow…

We discuss an analogue of Riemann-Roch theorem for curves with an infinite number of handles. We represent such a curve X by its Shottki model, which is an open subset U of CP^{1} with infinite union of circles as a boundary. An appropriate…

Let $p$ be a prime number such that the modular curve $X_0(p)$ has genus at least two. We show that the only points of the reduction mod $p$ of $X_0(p)$ with image in the reduction mod $p$ of $J_0(p)$ in the cuspidal group are the two…

We introduce a general abstract notion of fine compactified Jacobian for nodal curves of arbitrary genus. We focus on genus 1 and prove combinatorial classification results for fine compactified Jacobians in the case of a single nodal curve…

N\'eron models of abelian varieties do not necessarily exist if the base $S$ has dimension higher than 1. We introduce a new condition, called toric additivity, on a family of smooth curves having nodal reduction over a normal crossing…

We give elementary applications of quasi-homomorphisms to growth problems in groups. A particular case concerns the number of torsion elements required to factorise a given element in the mapping class group of a surface.
