Abstract
												Let C be an integral projective curve in any characteristic. Given an invertible sheaf L on C of degree 1, form the corresponding Abel map AL:CâJ¯, which maps C into its compactified Jacobian, and form its pullback map AL*:PicJ¯0âJ, which carries the connected component of 0 in the Picard scheme back to the Jacobian. If C has, at worst, double points, then AL* is known to be an isomorphism. We prove that AL* always extends to a map between the natural compactifications, PicJ¯÷âJ¯, and that the extended map is an isomorphism if C has, at worst, ordinary nodes and cusps.
