The main result of this monograph is to prove the existence of the toroidal compactification over Z (1/2). This result should have further applications and is presented here with sufficient background material to make the book suitable for seminar courses in algebraic geometry, algebraic number theory or automorphic forms UR - https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511721298 ER -
