Abstract: Applying the Second Main Theorem we deal with the algebraic degeneracy of entire holomorphic curves from the complex plane into a complex algebraic normal variety of positive log Kodaira dimension that admits a finite proper morphism to a semi-abelian variety. We will also discuss applications to the Kobayashi hyperbolicity problem.


This paper under review deals with a degeneracy theorem for entire holomorphic curves into algebraic varieties. Let \(X\) be a complex. We denote by \(\overline q(X)\) the log irregularity of \(X\). Let \(\overline\kappa(X)\) be the log Kodaira dimension of \(X\). The main theorem in the paper is as follows: Suppose that there exists a finite morphism \(\pi: X\to A\) onto a semi-Abelian variety \(A\). Let \(f: \mathbb{C}\to X\) be an entire holomorphic curve. If \(\overline\kappa(X)> 0\), then \(f\) is algebraically degenerate. The normalization of the Zariski closure of the image of \(f\) is a semi-Abelian variety that is a finite étale cover of the translation of a proper semi-Abelian subvariety of \(A\). The following degeneracy theorem is obtained as a corollary: Let \(X\) be a complex algebraic variety whose quasi-Albanese map is a proper map. Suppose that \(\overline\kappa(X)> 0\) and \(\overline q(X)> \dim X\), then every entire holomorphic curve \(f: \mathbb{C}\to X\) is algebraically degenerate. The authors also give some applications for the Kobayashi hyperbolicity problem. For related topics, see \textit{G. Dethloff} and \textit{S. S.-Y. Steven} [Ann. Inst.
