Normal distribution of bad reduction

We prove normal distribution laws for primes of bad semistable reduction in families of curves. As a consequence, we deduce that when ordered by height, <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mml:mrow><mml:mn>100</mml:mn> <mml:mo>%</mml:mo></mml:mrow> </mml:math> of curves in these families have, in a precise sense, many such primes.

Abstract

We prove normal distribution laws for primes of bad semistable reduction in families of curves. As a consequence, we deduce that when ordered by height, <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mml:mrow><mml:mn>100</mml:mn> <mml:mo>%</mml:mo></mml:mrow> </mml:math> of curves in these families have, in a precise sense, many such primes.
