April 25, 2023
Abstract
Let Y be a curve with potential good reduction to characteristic p>0. The local Galois representation of Y is determined by a Weil representation. We show how to determine this Weil representation from the stable reduction of Y. In the case of superelliptic curves, we make this explicit. This is joint work with D.K. Do and Stefan Wewers.
