Riemann–Roch theorem for algebraic surfaces (source code)

= Riemann–Roch theorem for algebraic surfaces

{title2=$\chi(\mathcal O_X(D))=\chi(\mathcal O_X)+\tfrac12D\cdot(D-K_X)$}

For a <Cartier divisor> on a smooth projective surface, the displayed formula computes its <Euler characteristic of a coherent sheaf>. Combined with <Serre duality>, it turns <intersection numbers> into lower bounds for section spaces.
