Genus of a smooth projective curve












0












$begingroup$


I was trying to prove that the genus of a smooth projective complex curve $F=0$ of degree $d$ is $(d-1)(d-2)/2$.



My attempt was to take the standard projection $$pi:mathbb{P}^2 to mathbb{P}^1$$ $$[x ;y ; z] to [x ; z]$$ which has degree $d$ and then apply Riemann Hurwitz formula.



The problem is that I do not know how to explicitly write the multiplictity of this map at the ramification points(which are the ones for which $dfrac{partial F}{partial y}=0$). In particular, I would like to say that the multiplicity of the map $pi $ in a point $x in mathbb{P}^2$ is $Ileft(x,F cap dfrac{partial F}{partial y}+1right)$, but I'm stuck (the last I is the intersection multiplicity of the two algebraic curves).

    Are you asking about how to finish this particular proof using the Riemann-Hurwitz formula, or are you interested in alternate ways to prove this statement?

    Is it okay to use adjunction + cohomology ? Then $K_C = mathcal{O}_C(n-3) $. Since the curve is defined by a single equation of degree d it's easy to see that $K_C$ has exactly the same global sections as on $P^2$.

    @André3000 Tthe answer in there is just a broken link, it might be worth it having a written answer.
