Idea

A generalization of the concept of genus of a surface from Riemann surfaces/complex curves to algebraic varieties, hence to algebraic curves.

Further base-chaning to arithmetic curves there is the genus of a number field (in the sense of the function field analogy).

Definition

(…)

essentially the Euler characteristic Ο‡(π’ͺ Ξ£)\chi(\mathcal{O}_{\Sigma}) of the structure sheaf:

g Ξ£=βˆ’(Ο‡(π’ͺ Ξ£)βˆ’1) g_\Sigma = - (\chi(\mathcal{O}_\Sigma) - 1)
