Howe This paper is dedicated to Siegfried Bosch, whose foundational work in rigid analysis was invaluable in our development of the theory of semistable coverings. 3 We determine the stable models of the modular curves X0.p / for primes p ≥ 13. An essential ingredient is the close relationship between the deformation theories of elliptic curves and formal groups, which was established in the Woods Hole notes of 1964. This enables us to apply results of Hopkins and Gross in our analysis of the supersingular locus. 1. Introduction Let n be an integer and p a prime. It is known that if n ≥ 3 and p ≥ 5, or if n ≥ 1 n and p ≥ 11, the modular curve X0.p / does not have a model with good reduction over the ring of integers of any complete subfield of Cp. By a model for a scheme C over a complete local field K , we mean a scheme S over the ring of integers ᏻK ∼ ⊗ of K such that C D S ᏻK K . When a curve C over K does not have a model with good reduction over ᏻK , it may have the “next best thing”, that is, a stable model. The stable model is unique up to isomorphism if it exists, which it does over the ring of integers in some finite extension of K , as long as the genus of the curve is at least 2. Moreover, if Ꮿ is a stable model for C over ᏻK , and K ⊆ L ⊆ Cp, then ⊗ ⊗ Ꮿ ᏻK ᏻL is a stable model for C K L over ᏻL . The special fiber of any stable model for C is called the stable reduction. Here is a brief summary of prior results regarding the stable models of modular curves at prime power levels. Deligne and Rapoport [1973, §VI.6] found models for X0.p/ and X1.p/ over Zp and ZpTµpU that become stable over the quadratic unramified extension. Edixhoven [1990, Theorem 2.1.2] found stable models for 2 unr X0.p / over the ring of integers, R, in the Galois extension of Qp of degree .p2 − 1/=2. Bouw and Wewers [2004, Theorem 4.1 and Corollary 3.4] found stable models of X0.p/ and X .p/ over Zp and R by completely different means. n Krir [1996, Theor´ eme` 1] proved that the Jacobian of X0.p / has a semistable MSC2000: primary 14G22; secondary 11G07, 14G35. Keywords: stable reduction, modular curves, rigid analysis. 357 358 Ken McMurdy and Robert Coleman unr model over the ring of integers of an explicit Galois extension Ln of Qp of degree 2.n−2/ 2 n p .p − 1/ for n ≥ 2, which implies that X0.p / has a stable model over the ring of integers of Ln by [Deligne and Mumford 1969, Theorem 2.4]. Also, stable models for X0.125/ and X0.81/ were computed explicitly in [McMurdy 2004, §2; 4 2008, §3], and [2008, §5] gave a conjectural stable reduction of X0.p /. The main 3 result of this paper is the construction of a stable model for X0.p /, when p ≥ 13, over the ring of integers of some finite extension of Qp that is made explicit in [CM 2006]. We introduce the notion of a semistable covering of a smooth complete curve over a complete nonarchimedean field in Section 2C. We prove that any curve over a complete stable subfield of Cp has a semistable covering if and only if it has a semistable model, and moreover we can determine the corresponding reduction from the covering (see Theorem 2.36). Finding a semistable covering is often easier in practice than finding a semistable model directly, and this is what we do 3 for X0.p / in Sections 6–9. Overview. Our approach is rigid analytic, in that we construct a stable model of 3 X0.p / by actually constructing a stable covering by wide opens (an equivalent rigid analytic notion which was introduced in [Coleman and McCallum 1988, §1]). A covering Ꮿo of the ordinary locus can be obtained by extending the ordinary ± ± affinoids Xa b defined in [Coleman 2005, §1] to wide open neighborhoods Wa b. The supersingular locus essentially breaks up into the union of finitely many de- formation spaces of height 2 formal groups with level structure [Lubin et al. 1964]. We use results from [Hopkins and Gross 1994] and [de Shalit 1994] to produce a covering Ꮿs of this region. Finally, we show that the genus of the covering Ꮿo [Ꮿs 3 is at least the genus of X0.p /, and therefore that the overall covering is stable. This argument is laid out as follows. First, in Section 2, we recall or prove the general rigid analytic results that are necessary for a stable covering argument. These results are proved not only over complete subfields of Cp, but over more general complete nonarchimedean-valued fields. For example, Proposition 2.34 is the aforementioned result that the genus of any stable covering must equal the genus of the curve. We also revise and extend results of Bosch, and of Bosch and Lutkebohmert,¨ on the rigid geometry of algebraic curves. A rigid analytic version of the Riemann existence theorem is proved in Appendix A. In Section 3, we recall and fix notation for some results specifically pertaining n to X0.p / and its rigid subspaces. This is done from the moduli-theoretic point n of view, which is that points of X0.p / correspond to pairs .E; C/, where E is a generalized elliptic curve and C is a cyclic subgroup of order pn. There is a detailed discussion in Section 3A of the theory of the canonical subgroup of an elliptic curve Stable reduction of X0(p3) 359 and its connection with the geometry of X0.p/ [Buzzard 2003, §3]. Section 3B is ± ± where we define wide open neighborhoods, Wa b ⊇ Xa b, of the irreducible affinoids n that make up the ordinary locus of X0.p /. All of the necessary results regarding deformations of formal groups are given in Section 4. First we precisely state the relationship between deformations of elliptic curves and formal groups, which we call Woods Hole theory [Lubin et al. 1964, §6]. This is then used in Section 4A (along with the result of Howe in Appendix B) to prove that all of the connected components of the supersingular n locus of X0.p / are (nearly) isomorphic. Because of this fact, we are able to focus n on those regions WA.p / that correspond to a supersingular elliptic curve A=Fp for which j.A/ 6D 0; 1728. Specifically, this enables us to directly apply results of de Shalit [1994, §3] for the forgetful map from X0.p/ to the j-line. The other important consequence of Woods Hole theory is that it gives us a natural action of O ∼ ∗ Aut.A/ D .End.A/ ⊗ Zp/ n on WA.p /.

  • Modular Forms and Diophantine Questions
    MODULAR FORMS AND DIOPHANTINE QUESTIONS KENNETH A. RIBET Mathematics Department University of California Berkeley, CA 94720-3840 USA e-mail: [email protected] This article discusses many of the topics that I touched on during my Public Lecture at the National University of Singapore and my Lecture to Schools at Victoria Junior College. During the former lecture, I spoke in broad terms about the history of Fermat’s Last Theorem and about the connection between Fermat’s Last Theorem, and the conjecture — now a theorem! — to the effect that elliptic curves are related to modular forms. In my Lecture to Schools, I discussed questions that have been sent to me by students and amateur mathematicians. 1 Introduction I have already written about Fermat’s Last Theorem on a number of occa- sions. My article [25] with Brian Hayes in American Scientist focuses on the connection between Fermat’s equation and elliptic curves. It was writ- ten in 1994, when the proof that Andrew Wiles announced in 1993 was not yet complete. My exposition [23] is intended for professional mathematicians who are not necessarily specialists in number theory. The introduction [27] by Simon Singh and me will be useful to readers who seek a summary of Singh’s book [26] and to the documentary on Fermat’s Last Theorem that Singh directed for the BBC [17]. I hope that the present article will offer a useful further look at some of the mathematics associated with Fermat’s Last Theorem. 2 Background Arguably the single most famous statement in mathematics is the assertion that Fermat’s equation an + bn = cn has no solutions in positive integers a, b, and c when n is an integer greater than 2.

His perspective on the present crisis and future promise of physics and cosmology provides an important corrective to fashionable thinking at this crucial moment in science. This book deserves the widest possible hearing among specialists and the public alike.” —Lee Smolin, author of Time Reborn: From the Crisis in Physics to the Future of the Universe What can fashionable ideas, blind faith, or pure fantasy possibly have to do with the scienti c quest to understand the universe? Surely, theoreti- cal physicists are immune to mere trends, dogmatic beliefs, or ights of fancy? In fact, acclaimed physicist and bestselling author Roger Penrose argues that researchers working at the extreme frontiers of physics are just as susceptible to these forces as anyone else. In this provocative book, he argues that fashion, faith, and fantasy, while sometimes pro- ductive and even essential in physics, may be leading today’s researchers astray in three of the eld’s most important areas—string theory, quan- tum mechanics, and cosmology.

  • Fermat's Last Theorem If X, Y, Z and N Are Integers Satisfying Xn + Yn = Zn, Then Either N ≤ 2 Or Xyz = 0
    THEOREM OF THE DAY Fermat's Last Theorem If x, y, z and n are integers satisfying xn + yn = zn, then either n ≤ 2 or xyz = 0. It is easy to see that we can assume that all the integers in the theorem are positive. So a legitimate, but totally different, way of asserting the theorem, invented by the engineer Edward C. Molina, is the following: we take a ball at random from Urn A; then replace it and take a 2nd ball 5 × 5 at random. Do the same for Urn B. The probability that both A balls are blue, for the urns shown here, is 7 7 . The probability that both B 4 2 3 2 2 2 2 balls are the same colour (both blue or both red) is ( 7 ) + ( 7 ) . Now the Pythagorean triple 5 = 3 + 4 tells us that the probabilities are equal: 25 9 16 > 49 = 49 + 49 . What if we choose n 2 balls with replacement? Can we again fill each of the urns with N balls, red and blue, so that taking n with replacement will give equal probabilities? Fermat’s Last Theorem says: only in the trivial case where all the balls in Urn A are blue (which includes, vacuously, the possibility that N = 0). Another, much more profound restatement: if an + bn, for n > 2 and positive integers a and b, is again an n-th power of an integer then the elliptic curve y2 = x(x − an)(x + bn), known as the Frey curve, cannot be modular (is not a rational map of a modular curve).
