Néron Models and Base Change

Presentingthe first systematic treatment of the behavior of Néron models under ramifiedbase change, this book can be read as an introduction to various subtleinvariants and constructions related to Néron models of semi-abelian varieties,motivated by concrete research problems and complemented with explicitexamples.   Néron models of abelian andsemi-abelian varieties have become an indispensable tool in algebraic andarithmetic geometry since Néron introduced them in his seminal 1964 pap
