In this problem, a curve over a field kk will refer to a reduced separated scheme of finite type over kk, of dimension one. In particular, we allow reducible and/or singular curves.

Let k=k‾k = \overline{k} be an algebraically closed field. Let π ⁣:X→Y\pi\colon X\to Y be a birational morphism of curves over kk. How are the Picard groups of X,YX,Y related via π\pi?
