Rigid Geometry of Curves and Their Jacobians

This book presents some of the most important aspects of rigid geometry, namely its applications to the study of smooth algebraic curves, of their Jacobians, and of abelian varieties - all of them defined over a complete non-archimedean valued field. The

Preface

Projective algebraic curves or abelian varieties are defined as the vanishing locus of finite families of homogeneous polynomials in a projective space fulfilling certain conditions. Except for elliptic curves or hyperelliptic curves, it is difficult to pin down equations which give rise to curves or abelian varieties. Over the complex numbers one has analytic tools to construct and to uniformize such objects. For example, every smooth curve of genus g ≥ 2 has a representation Γ \H, where H is the upper half-plane and Γ ⊂ Aut(H) is a group acting on H. Similarly, every compact complex Lie group is of type Cn /Λ, where Λ is a lattice in Cn ; the abelian varieties among the compact complex Lie groups can be char
