Moduli of finite flat torsors over nodal curves

Abstract

We show that log flat torsors over a family $X/S$ of nodal curves under a finite flat commutative group scheme $G/S$ are classified by maps from the Cartier dual of $G$ to the log Jacobian of $X$. We deduce that fppf torsors on the smooth fibres of $X/S$ can be extended to global log flat torsors under some regularity hypotheses.
