Grothendieck's perfectness conjecture for the Néron component-group pairing

About 12 years old · traced to

Let KK be a complete discrete valuation field with ring of integers OK\mathcal{O}_{K} and perfect residue field kk of characteristic p>0p>0. Let AA be an abelian variety over KK, let A\mathcal{A} be its Néron model over OK\mathcal{O}_{K}, and let Ax\mathcal{A}_{x} be the special fiber over x=Spec⁡kx=\operatorname{Spec} k. Write A∨A^{\vee} for the dual abelian variety, with corresponding Néron model A∨\mathcal{A}^{\vee} and special fiber Ax∨\mathcal{A}_{x}^{\vee}. The component groups π0(Ax)\pi_{0}(\mathcal{A}_{x}) and π0(Ax∨)\pi_{0}(\mathcal{A}_{x}^{\vee}) are finite étale group schemes over kk, and Grothendieck's canonical pairing is

π0(Ax∨)×π0(Ax)→Q/Z.\pi_{0}(\mathcal{A}_{x}^{\vee})\times\pi_{0}(\mathcal{A}_{x})\to\mathbb{Q}/\mathbb{Z}.

Grothendieck's perfectness conjecture. The pairing above is perfect.

This pairing is the obstruction to extending the Poincaré biextension from A∨×AA^{\vee}\times A to the Néron models. The conjecture is proved in the paper by reducing from the known semistable case via Galois descent, so its status is solved.
