A note on the definability of genus for Zariski geometries

Abstract

In this work we propose a notion of genus in the context of Zariski geometries and we obtain natural generalizations of the Riemann--Hurwitz Theorem and the Hurwitz Theorem in the context of very ample Zariski geometries. As a corollary, we show that such notion of genus cannot be first-order definable in the full language of a Zariski geometry.
