Is the number of twists of a curve with a section in a given field finite

Fact 1 (The Hurwitz Bound): If $X$ is a smooth projective connected curve of genus $g\ge 2$ over $\mathbf{C}$ then $$| Aut_{\mathbf C }(X)| \le 84(g-1)$$ Fact 2: $Aut_\mathbf{C}(X) = Aut_{\overline …

"Bad" reduction of Shimura curves via dual graphs

inkspot is indeed correct that the component graphs are indeed not generally trees. As you seem to have deduced for yourself, Cerednik–Drinfeld uniformization is a highly nontrivial concept, and it re …

Etale covers of a hyperelliptic curve

Certainly not. Ogg proved in "Real points on Shimura curves" that there are only finitely many Shimura curves (of the form $X^D_0(N)$) which are hyperelliptic. If there is a prime divisor $q$ of $D$ s …

Curves which are not covers of P^1 with four branch points

Without pretending to understand Ben Wieland's argument, let me take the Shimura curve suggestion and run with it. In particular, modulo a few details I think the following should be true: The Shimur …
