Lemma 109.22.1. Let $f : X \to S$ be a prestable family of curves of genus $g \geq 2$. Let $s \in S$ be a point of the base scheme. The following are equivalent
Proof. Assume (2). Then $\omega _{X_ s}$ is ample on $X_ s$. By Algebraic Curves, Lemmas 53.22.2 and 53.23.2 we conclude that (1) holds (we also use the characterization of ample invertible sheaves in Varieties, Lemma 33.44.15).
Assume (1). Then $\omega _{X_ s}$ is ample on $X_ s$ by Algebraic Curves, Lemmas 53.23.6. We conclude by Descent on Spaces, Lemma 74.13.2. $\square$
