Prolongement de biextensions et accouplements en cohomologie log plate
Résumé
We study, using the language of log schemes, the problem of extending biextensions of smooth commutative group schemes by the multiplicative group. This was first considered by Grothendieck in SGA 7. We show that this problem admits a solution in the category of sheaves for Kato's log flat topology, in contradistinction to what can be observed using the fppf topology, for which monodromic obstructions were defined by Grothendieck. In particular, in the case of an abelian variety and its dual, it is possible to extend the Weil biextension to the whole Néron model. This allows us to define a pairing on the points which combines the class group pairing defined by Mazur and Tate and Grothendieck's monodromy pairing.
