Abstract

For any split totally degenerate abelian variety over a complete discrete valuation field, we construct a log abelian variety, in the sense of [KKN08a], over the discrete valuation ring extending the given abelian variety. This generalizes Kato’s log Tate curve.

Keywords

degeneration, log abelian varieties
