It is focused on certain positive characteristic phenomena like infinitesimal group schemes and their actions on algebraic surfaces as well as the failure in positive characteristic of certain fundamental characteristic zero results like the Kodaira vanishing theorem. Many explicit examples are presented.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-04-03T16:17:58.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14J29", "14J50", "14J10", "14L15", "14F17" ], "keywords": [ "algebraic surfaces", "fundamental characteristic zero results", "infinitesimal group schemes", "explicit examples", "author gave" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
