Abstract
We define a generalized Jacobian and a generalized Picard group of a graph with respect to a modulus with vertices of and . These groups occur as the component groups of N\'{e}ron models of generalized Jacobians. We prove a universal mapping property for and show that an Abel-Jacobi map in this context induces an isomorphism from to . We also reinterpret in terms of sheaves on the geometric realization of , making a connection with tropical geometry.
