Abstract

Let S be a minimal complex surface of general type with irregularity q2 and let C S be an irreducible curve of geometric genus g. Assume that C is Albanese defective, that is, that the image of C via the Albanese map does not generate the Albanese variety Alb(S); we obtain a linear upper bound in terms of K2S and g for the canonical degree KSC of C. As a corollary, we obtain a bound for the canonical degree of curves with gq1, thereby generalizing and sharpening the main result of Lu [On surfaces of general type with maximal Albanese dimension, J. reine angew. Math. 641 (2010) 163175.].
