Many errors corrected and details added following referee's suggestions", "categories": [ "math.NT" ], "abstract": "We produce an integral model for the modular curve $X(Np^m)$ over the ring of integers of a sufficiently ramified extension of $\\mathbf{Z}_p$ whose special fiber is a {\\em semistable curve} in the sense that its only singularities are normal crossings. This is done by constructing a semistable covering (in the sense of Coleman) of the supersingular part of $X(Np^m)$, which is a union of copies of a Lubin-Tate curve. In doing so we tie together nonabelian Lubin-Tate theory to the representation-theoretic point of view afforded by Bushnell-Kutzko types. For our analysis it was essential to work with the Lubin-Tate curve not at level $p^m$ but rather at infinite level. We show that the infinite-level Lubin-Tate space (in arbitrary dimension, over an arbitrary nonarchimedean local field) has the structure of a perfectoid space, which is in many ways simpler than the Lubin-Tate spaces of finite level.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v3", "updated": "2014-02-17T08:14:13.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14G22", "22E50", "11F70" ], "keywords": [ "modular curve", "arbitrary level", "semistable models", "arbitrary nonarchimedean local field", "lubin-tate curve" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 71, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2010arXiv1010.4241W" } } }
