Abstract

We establish a Second Main Theorem for entire holomorphic curves f:CP2 f: \mathbb{C} \to \mathbb{P}^2 intersecting a generic configuration of three conics C=C1+C2+C3\mathcal{C}= \mathcal{C}_1+ \mathcal{C}_2+ \mathcal{C}_3 in the complex projective plane P2\mathbb{P}^2. Using invariant logarithmic 22-jet differentials with negative twists, we prove the estimate Tf(r)5i=13Nf[1](r,Ci)+o(Tf(r)), T_f(r) \leqslant 5 \sum_{i=1}^3 N_f^{[1]}(r, \mathcal{C}_i) + o\big(T_f(r)\big)\quad\parallel, where Tf(r) T_f(r) is the Nevanlinna characteristic function, and Nf[1](r,Ci) N_f^{[1]}(r, \mathcal{C}_i) is the 11-truncated counting function. The key innovation of our approach is establishing new vanishing lemmas of the form H0(P2,E2,mTP2(logC)OP2(t))=0 H^0\bigl(\mathbb{P}^2,\, E_{2,m}T_{\mathbb{P}^2}^*(\log \mathcal{C}) \otimes \mathcal{O}_{\mathbb{P}^2}(-t)\bigr) = 0 for specific pairs (m,t)(m, t), achieved by combining algebro-geometric arguments with computer-assisted computations through a mod-pp reduction technique. This yields a systematic method for proving vanishing results for negatively twisted jet differentials -- a key component in complex hyperbolic geometry.
