The paper under review investigates when a germ of a formal curve is algebraic. Such a germ is a smooth curve in the formal completion of an algebraic variety in a point. The main progress with respect to previous work of the author is the definition of a canonical seminorm on the tangent space of the curve, if the base is the field of complex numbers. This seminorm vanishes iff the formal curve is algebraic. If the base is a number field and the ambient variety is extended to its ring of integers we obtain norms for all (finite or infinite) places of the number field. Thus the tangent space becomes an Arakelov bundle. If the degree of this bundle is positive, the germ is algebraic. This uses the theory of slopes developed by the author. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1047.14001].
