A user's guide to the local arithmetic of hyperelliptic curves (2007.01749v3)
Published 3 Jul 2020 in math.NT
Abstract: A new approach has been recently developed to study the arithmetic of hyperelliptic curves $y2=f(x)$ over local fields of odd residue characteristic via combinatorial data associated to the roots of $f$. Since its introduction, numerous papers have used this machinery of "cluster pictures" to compute a plethora of arithmetic invariants associated to these curves. The purpose of this user's guide is to summarise and centralise all of these results in a self-contained fashion, complemented by an abundance of examples.
