Title: Reduction types of genus 2 curves
Abstract: Reduction types are used to recover lots of important arithmetic information attached to curves over local fields, for example Tamagawa numbers which show up in the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture for Jacobians of curves. I will discuss a joint work in progress with E. Aylward, V. Dokchitser and E. Lupoian that classifies the (more than 100!) possible reduction types of genus 2 curves in terms of a combinatorial object known as the `cluster picture’.
