Remark 55.11.6. Not every numerical type comes from a model for the silly reason that there exist numerical types whose genus is negative. There exist a minimal numerical types of positive genus which are not the numerical type associated to a model (over some dvr) of a smooth projective geometrically irreducible curve (over the fraction field of the dvr). A simple example is n = 1, m_1 = 1, a_{11} = 0, w_1 = 6, g_1 = 1. Namely, in this case the special fibre X_ k would not be geometrically connected because it would live over an extension \kappa of k of degree 6. This is a contradiction with the fact that the generic fibre is geometrically connected (see More on Morphisms, Lemma 37.53.6). Similarly, n = 2, m_1 = m_2 = 1, -a_{11} = -a_{22} = a_{12} = a_{21} = 6, w_1 = w_2 = 6, g_1 = g_2 = 1 would be an example for the same reason (details omitted). But if the gcd of the w_ i is 1 we do not have an example.
