Let R be a complete discrete valuation ring with mixed characteristic.
Denote by K its field of fractions and by k its residue field. Let 0
--> AK --> BK --> CK --> 0 be an exact sequence of abelian varieties o
ver K and consider the corresponding complex of Nerons models 0 --> A
--> B --> C --> 0, over R. We assume that the identity component B-k(0
) Of the special fibre Bk of B is a torus and we study the defect of e
xactmess at B in this last sequence.
