The display locale of a cosheaf
We study the integral model of the Drinfeld modular curve for a prime . A function field analogue of the theory of Igusa curves is introduced to describe its reduction mod . A result describing the universal deformation ring of a pair consisting of a supersingular Drinfeld module and a point of order in terms of the Hasse invariant of that Drinfeld module is proved. We then apply Jung-Hirzebruch resolution for arithmetic surfaces to produce a regular model of which, after contractions in...
We describe the polynomials P ∈ ℂ[x,y] such that . As applications we give new examples of bad field generators and examples of families of polynomials with smooth and irreducible fibers.
We prove the “End Curve Theorem,” which states that a normal surface singularity with rational homology sphere link is a splice quotient singularity if and only if it has an end curve function for each leaf of a good resolution tree. An “end curve function” is an analytic function whose zero set intersects in the knot given by a meridian curve of the exceptional curve corresponding to the given leaf. A “splice quotient singularity” is described by giving an explicit set of equations describing...
