  "abstract": "We study various aspects of the behaviour of N\\'eron models of semi-abelian varieties under finite extensions of the base field, with a special emphasis on wildly ramified Jacobians. In Part 1, we analyze the behaviour of the component groups of the N\\'eron models, and we prove rationality results for a certain generating series encoding their orders. In Part 2, we discuss Chai's base change conductor and Edixhoven's filtration, and their relation to the Artin conductor. All of these results are applied in Part 3 to the study of motivic zeta functions of semi-abelian varieties. Part 4 contains some intriguing open problems and directions for further research. The main tools in this work are non-archimedean uniformization and a detailed analysis of the behaviour of regular models of curves under base change.",
