Abelian geometric fundamental groups for curves over a $p$-adic field (2201.05982v1)
Published 16 Jan 2022 in math.NT
Abstract: For a curve $X$ over a $p$-adic field $k$, using the class field theory of $X$ due to S. Bloch and S. Saito we study the abelian geometric fundamental group $\pi_1{\mathrm{ab}}(X){\mathrm{geo}}$ of $X$. In particular, it is investigated a subgroup of $\pi_1{\mathrm{ab}}(X){\mathrm{geo}}$ which classifies the geometric and abelian coverings of $X$ which allow possible ramification over the special fiber of the model of $X$. Under the assumptions that $X$ has a $k$-rational point, $X$ has good reduction and its Jacobian variety has good ordinary reduction, we give some upper and lower bounds of this subgroup of $\pi_1{\mathrm{ab}}(X){\mathrm{geo}}$.
