The small Schottky-Jung locus in positive characteristics different from two

Fabrizio Andreatta (2003)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We prove that the locus of Jacobians is an irreducible component of the small Schottky locus in any characteristic different from 2 . The proof follows an idea of B. van Geemen in characteristic 0 and relies on a detailed analysis at the boundary of the q - expansion of the Schottky-Jung relations. We obtain algebraically such relations using Mumford’s theory of 2 -adic theta functions. We show how the uniformization theory of semiabelian schemes, as developed by D. Mumford, C.-L. Chai and G. Faltings,...

The solution of the Tame Generators Conjecture according to Shestakov and Umirbaev

Arno van den Essen (2004)

Colloquium Mathematicae

The tame generators problem asked if every invertible polynomial map is tame, i.e. a finite composition of so-called elementary maps. Recently in [8] it was shown that the classical Nagata automorphism in dimension 3 is not tame. The proof is long and very technical. The aim of this paper is to present the main ideas of that proof.
