Néron models of algebraic curves
arXiv:1312.4822 · doi:10.1090/tran/6642
Abstract
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 Néron model over S, i.e., a smooth separated model of finite type satisfying the usual Néron mapping property. It is given by the smooth locus of the minimal proper regular model of X_K over S, as in the case of elliptic curves. When S is excellent, a similar result holds for connected smooth affine curves different from the affine line, with locally finite type Néron models.
