On the Inequality of Castelnuovo-Severi
Abstract: The inequality of Castelnuovo-Severi concerns the self-intersection of a divisor of a surface, which can be proved by the Riemann-Roch theorem for surfaces. In this talk, we recover the classical proof of a part of Weil's conjecture for curves using this inequality.
