Let $C$ be a smooth curve of genus $g$ over $\mathbb{C}$. I am interested in the following property: There exists a point $P \in C$ such that $K_C \sim_\mathbb{Q} (2g-2)P$. Equivalently, $K_C - (2g-2)...

Note: This question was asked on MSE first, but got zero reactions. So I deleted it there, and am now posting it here. I am looking for a reference or explanation of the fact that is used in Mumford'...

Let $R$ be a Henselian discrete valuation ring with residue field $k$ of positive characteristic and fraction field $K$ of characteristic zero. Let $\pi:X_R \to \mathrm{Spec}(R)$ be flat, projective ...

Let $C$ be a curve over $\mathbb{Q}_p$ and let $\mathcal{C}$ be a regular model of $C$ over $\mathbb{Z}_p$, with $\mathcal{J}$ the Neron model of the Jacobian of $C$. Raynaud's theorem asserts that $\...

Let $X$ be an irreducible nodal projective curve over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. Denote by $\pi:\tilde{X} \to X$ the normalization of $X$. Recall, the short exact ...

Let $f:C\to S$ be a regular fibered surface where $S=Spec(R)$, $R=dvr$. Assume $C$ has smooth geometrically integral generic fibre $C_K$. We also assume the existence of a section $x\in C(S)$. Let $...
