Pseudo-N\'eron Model and Restriction of Sections with an appendix by Jason Michael Starr

Abstract

We introduce the notion of pseudo-N\'eron model and give new examples of varieties admitting pseudo-N\'eron models other than Abelian varieties. As an application of pseudo-N\'eron models, given a scheme admitting a finite morphism to an Abelian scheme over a positive-dimensional base, we prove that for a very general genus-0, degree-d curve in the base with d sufficiently large, every section of the scheme over the curve is contained in a unique section over the entire base.
