Abstract: Let $C$ be a curve of genus $ggeqslant2$ defined over the fraction field $K$ of a complete discrete valuation ring $R$ with algebraically closed residue field. Suppose that $char(K)=0$ and that the characteristic of the residue field is not 2. Suppose that the Jacobian $Jac(C)$ has semi-stable reduction over $R$. Embed $C$ in $Jac(C)$ using a $K$-rational point. We show that the coordinates of the torsion points lying on $C$ lie in the unique moderately ramified quadratic extension of the field generated over $K$ by the coordinates of the $p$-torsion points on $Jac(C)$.

Review text

Let \(C\) be a curve of genus \(g\geqslant 2\) defined over the fraction field \(K\) of a complete discrete valuation ring \(R\) with algebraically closed residue field. Suppose that char(\(K)=0\) and that the characteristic \(p\) of the residue field is not 2. Suppose that the Jacobian Jac(\(C\)) has semi-stable reduction over \(R\). Embed \(C\) in Jac(\(C\)) using a \(K\)-rational point. The author shows that the coordinates of the torsion points of Jac(\(C\)) lying on \(C\) are contained in the unique tamely ramified quadratic extension of the field generated over \(K\) by the coordinates of the \(p\)-torsion points of Jac(\(C)\).
