Abstract. The generalized Jacobian variety of an algebraic curve with at most ordinary double points is an extension of an abelian variety by an algebraic torus. Using the geometric invariant theory, we systematically compactify it in finitely many different ways and describe their structure in terms of torus embeddings. Our compactifications include all known good ones.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
