A numerical birational invariant of a two-dimensional algebraic variety defined over an algebraically closed field $ k $. There are two different genera — the arithmetic genus and the geometric genus. The geometric genus $ p _ {g} $ of a complete smooth algebraic surface $ X $ is equal to

$$ p _ {g} = \mathop{\rm dim} _ {g} H ^ {0} ( X , \Omega _ {X} ^ {2} ) , $$

i.e. to the dimension of the space of regular differential $ 2 $- forms (cf. Differential form) on $ X $. The arithmetic genus $ p _ {a} $ of a complete smooth algebraic surface $ X $ is equal to

$$ p _ {a} = \chi ( X , {\mathcal O} _ {X} ) - 1 = \ \mathop{\rm dim} _ {k} H ^ {2} ( X , {\mathcal O} _ {X} ) - \mathop{\rm dim} _ {k} H ^ {1} ( X , {\mathcal O} _ {X} ) . $$

The geometric and arithmetic genera of a complete smooth algebraic surface $ X $ are related by the formula $ p _ {g} - p _ {a} = q $, where $ q $ is the irregularity of $ X $, which is equal to the dimension of the space of regular differential $ 1 $- forms on $ X $.
