De Franchis theorem

De Franchis theorem In mathematics, the de Franchis theorem is one of a number of closely related statements applying to compact Riemann surfaces, oder, allgemeiner, algebraische Kurven, X and Y, in the case of genus g > 1. The simplest is that the automorphism group of X is finite (see though Hurwitz's automorphisms theorem). Allgemeiner, the set of non-constant morphisms from X to Y is finite; fixing X, for all but a finite number of such Y, there is no non-constant morphism from X to Y.

These results are named for Michele De Franchis [it] (1875–1946). It is sometimes referenced as the De Franchis-Severi theorem. It was used in an important way by Gerd Faltings to prove the Mordell conjecture.
