Geometric bounded-components form of the arithmetic Shafarevich conjecture

At least 28 years old · documented by

Let C′C' be a semistable curve over FF, and let CLC_L be the model associated with a finite nonramified extension LL of F(C′)F(C'). Geometric Shafarevich conjecture. There is a number J(F(C′))J(F(C')) such that the number of components of every fiber of CLC_L is bounded by J(F(C′))J(F(C')) for every finite extension LL of F(C′)F(C') contained in F(C′)nrF(C')^{\mathrm{nr}}. This is presented as a geometric reformulation of the preceding arithmetic conjecture; the source gives no resolution status.
