The Severi inequality $K^2\ge 4\chi$ for surfaces of maximal Albanese dimension

Abstract

We prove the so-called Severi inequality, stating that the invariants of a minimal smooth complex projective surface of maximal Albanese dimension satisfy: K^2_S >= 4χ(S).

Final version: proof slightly simplified, a reference added
