Let R be a discrete valuation ring with field of fractions K and perfect residue field k of characteristic p > 0. Given a finite flat and commutative group scheme G over K and a smooth projective curve C over K with a rational point, we study the extension of pointed fppf G-torsors over C to pointed torsors over a regular model of C over R. We first study this problem in the category of log schemes: we prove that extending a G-torsor into a log flat torsor amounts to finding a finite flat model of G over R for which a certain group scheme morphism to the Jacobian J of C extends to the Néron model of J. Assuming this condition is satisfied, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for the torsor to have an fppf-extension. Finally, we give two detailed examples of extension of torsors when C is a hyperelliptic curve defined over Q.In a second part, generalizing a result of Chiodo [9], we give a criterion for the r-torsion subgroup of the Néron model of J to be a finite flat group scheme, and we combine it with the results of the first part.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
