A. Lanteri et F. Russo, A LOWER-BOUND FOR SECTIONAL GENERA OF AMPLE AND SPANNED VECTOR-BUNDLES ON ALGEBRAIC-SURFACES, Proceedings of the American Mathematical Society, 119(4), 1993, pp. 1053-1059
Let E be an ample and spanned vector bundle of rank r over a complex p
rojective surface S. It is shown that the sectional genus g(S, det E)
is bounded from below by the number b = max{q(S), 2 - rchi(O(S)))} and
pairs (S, E) satisfying b less-than-or-equal-to g(S, det E) less-than
-or-equal-to b + 1 are characterized.
