Pretty much everything in this post is in Mumford’s “Curves and their Jacobians,” but I do a couple of things slightly differently, and I intend to supply a bit more detail in some places.  The goal here is to construct … Continue reading →

Posted on March 2, 2010 by Charles Siegel

Today, we’re going to prove a BIG theorem, but only in the characteristic zero case (we’ll be working over as usual). The theorem is rather tough, and to do it in positive characteristics it’s best done through stacks. Specifically, we’ll … Continue reading →
