After some background in characteristic-p-geometry, we sketch the Kodaira-Enriques classification. Next, we turn to more special characteristic-p topics, and end by lifting results and applications to characteristic zero. We assume that the reader has a background in complex geometry and has seen the Kodaira-Enriques classification of complex surfaces before.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v4", "updated": "2013-04-06T17:00:12.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14J10", "14G17" ], "keywords": [ "algebraic surfaces", "positive characteristic", "kodaira-enriques classification", "special characteristic-p topics", "characteristic zero" ], "tags": [ "lecture notes" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 66, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2009arXiv0912.4291L" } } }
