Families of curves and alterations

A. Johan De Jong (1997)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Similarity:

In this article it is shown that any family of curves can be altered into a semi-stable family. This implies that if S is an excellent scheme of dimension at most 2 and X is a separated integral scheme of finite type over S , then X can be altered into a regular scheme. This result is stronger then the results of [ Smoothness, semi-stability and alterations to appear in Publ. Math. IHES]. In addition we deal with situations where a finite group acts.

Decompositions of saturated models of stable theories

M. C. Laskowski, S. Shelah (2006)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We characterize the stable theories T for which the saturated models of T admit decompositions. In particular, we show that countable, shallow, stable theories with NDOP have this property.

Stable reduction of three point covers

Stefan Wewers (2005)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

Similarity:

This note gives a survey of some recent results on the stable reduction of covers of the projective line branched at three points.
