Méthode de la descente
Let be a desingularization of a normal surface . The group Pic is provided with an order relation , defined by . for any effective exceptional divisor . Comparing to the usual order relation we define the ceiling of which is an exceptional divisor. This notion allows us to improve the usual vanishing theorem and we deduce from it a numerical criterion for rationality and a genus formula for a curve on a normal surface; the difficulty lies in the case of a Weil divisor which is not a Cartier...
