Here we give an explicit polynomial bound (in term of and not depending on the prime ) for the order of the automorphism group of a minimal surface of general type defined over a field of characteristic .
We present a formula for the intersection multiplicity of the images of two subvarieties under an etale morphism between smooth varieties over a field k. It is a generalization of Fulton's Example 8.2.5 from [3], where a strong additional assumption has been imposed. In a special case where the base field k is algebraically closed and a proper component of the intersection is a closed point, intersection multiplicity is an invariant of etale morphisms. This corresponds with analytic geometry where...
We study the geometrical properties of a unit vector field on a Riemannian 2-manifold, considering the field as a local imbedding of the manifold into its tangent sphere bundle with the Sasaki metric. For the case of constant curvature , we give a description of the totally geodesic unit vector fields for and and prove a non-existence result for . We also found a family of vector fields on the hyperbolic 2-plane of curvature which generate foliations on with leaves of constant intrinsic...
