Rational points of universal curves in positive characteristics

preprint2016arXivOpen access

Abstract

For the moduli stack Mg,n/Fp\mathcal{M}_{g,n/\mathbb{F}_p} of smooth curves over Spec Fp\text{Spec}~\mathbb{F}_p with the function field KK, we show that if g≥3g\geq3, then the only KK-rational points of the generic curve over KK are its nn tautological points. Furthermore, we show that if g≥4g\geq4 and n=0n=0, then Grothendieck's Section Conjecture holds for the generic curve over KK. This is an extension of Hain's work in characteristic 00 to positive characteristics.
