Let $X$ be a surface of general type with maximal Albanese dimension over an algebraically closed field of characteristic greater than two: we prove that if $K_X^2<\frac{9}{2}\chi(\mathcal{O}_X)$, one has $K_X^2\geq…

Let $X$ be a surface of general type with maximal Albanese dimension: if $K_X^2<\frac{9}{2}\chi(\mathcal{O}_X)$, one has $K_X^2\geq 4\chi(\mathcal{O}_X)+4(q-2)$. We give a complete classification of surfaces for which equality holds for…

Let S be a minimal complex surface of general type and of maximal Albanese dimension; by the Severi inequality one has $K^2_S\geq 4\chi(\mathcal O_S)$. We prove that the equality $K^2_S=4\chi(\mathcal O_S)$ holds if and only if $q(S):=…

Let $X$ be a minimal surface of general type over an algebraically closed field $\mathbf{k}$ of $\mathrm{char}.(\mathbf{k})=p\ge 0$. If the Albanese morphism $a_X:X\to \mathrm{Alb}_X$ is generically finite onto its image, we formulate a…

Let $X$ be a minimal surface of general type and maximal Albanese dimension with irregularity $q\geq 2$. We show that $K_X^2\geq 4\chi(\mathcal O_X)+4(q-2)$ if $K_X^2<\frac92\chi(\mathcal O_X)$, and also obtain the characterization of the…

For a smooth minimal surface of general type $S$ with $Albdim(S) = 2$, Severi inequality says that $K_S^2 \geq 4\chi(S)$, which was proved by Pardini. It is expected that when the equality is attained, $S$ is birational to a double cover…

We prove the so-called Severi inequality, stating that the invariants of a minimal smooth complex projective surface of maximal Albanese dimension satisfy: K^2_S >= 4\chi(S).

Let S be a smooth minimal complex projective surface of maximal Albanese dimension. Under the assumption that the canonical class of S is ample and the irregularity of S, q(S), is greater or equal to 5 we show that K^2>=…

Let $f: X \to B$ be a relatively minimal fibration of maximal Albanese dimension from a variety $X$ of dimension $n \ge 2$ to a curve $B$ defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. We prove that $K_{X/B}^n \ge 2n!…

We study minimal complex surfaces S of general type with q(S)=q and p_g(S)=2q-3, q>= 5. We give a complete classification in case that S has a fibration onto a curve of genus >=2. For these surfaces K^2=8\chi. In general we prove that…

Examples of algebraic surfaces of general type with maximal Picard number are not abundant in the literature. Moreover, most known examples either possess low invariants, lie near the Noether line $K^2=2\chi-6$ or are somewhat scattered. A…

Let $S$ be a minimal irregular surface of general type, whose Albanese map induces a fibration $f:\,S \to C$ of genus $g$.We prove a linear upper bound on the genus $g$ if $K_S^2\leq 4\chi(\mathcal{O}_S)$. Examples are constructed showing…

Let $S$ be a smooth minimal surface of general type with a (rational) pencil of hyperelliptic curves of minimal genus $g$. We prove that if $K_S^2<4\chi(\mathcal O_S)-6,$ then $g$ is bounded. The surface $S$ is determined by the branch…

We classify minimal surfaces $S$ of general type with $p_g=q=2$ and $K_S^2=6$ whose Albanese map is a generically finite double cover. We show that the corresponding moduli space is the disjoint union of three generically smooth,…

In this work we present new results to produce an algorithm that returns, for any fixed pair of natural integers $K^2$ and $\chi$, all regular surfaces $S$ of general type with self-intersection $K_S^2=K^2$ and Euler characteristic…

For a minimal smooth projective surface $S$ of general type over a field of characteristic $p>0$, we prove that $K^2_S\le 32\chi(\cal{O}_S).$ Moreover, if $18\chi(\cal{O}_S)<K^2_S\le 32\chi(\cal{O}_S)$, Albanese morphism of $S$ must induces…

Given a minimal surface equipped with a generically finite map to an Abelian variety, we give an optimal bound on the canonical degree of a rational or an elliptic curve. As a corollary, we obtain the finiteness of rational and elliptic…

In 1932 F. Severi claimed, with an incorrect proof, that every smooth minimal projective surface $S$ such that the bundle $\Omega^1_S$ is generically generated by global sections satisfies the topological inequality $2c_1^2(S)\ge c_2(S)$.…

A bielliptic surface (or hyperelliptic surface) is a smooth surface with a numerically trivial canonical divisor such that the Albanese morphism is an elliptic fibration. In the first part of this paper, we study the structure of bielliptic…

We construct smooth minimal complex surfaces of general type with $K^2=7$ and: $p_g=q=2,$ Albanese map of degree $2$ onto a $(1,2)$-polarized abelian surface; $p_g=q=1$ as a double cover of a quartic Kummer surface; $p_g=q=0$ as a double…
