Numerical inequalities for quasi-projective surfaces
Rita Pardini, Sofia Tirabassi
Abstract
Let $V$ be a smooth quasi-projective complex surface with compactification $(X,D)$ and set $\overline P_1(V):=h^0(X,K_X+D)$, $\overline q(V):=h^0(X,Ω^1_X(\log D))$. We prove that $\overline P_1(V)\ge \overline q(V)-1$ if $V$ has maximal Albanese dimension and $\overline P_1(V)\ge\frac 16( \overline q(V)-5)$ otherwise. Both bounds are sharp.
