Abstract We prove that there are$$\gg \frac{X^{\frac{1}{3}}}{(\log X)^2}$$

A Schmidt–Nochka theorem for closed subschemes in subgeneral position

https://doi.org/10.1515/crelle-2024-0085

Heier, Gordon; Levin, Aaron (November 2024, Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik (Crelles Journal))

In previous work, the authors established a generalized version of Schmidt’s subspace theorem for closed subschemes in general position in terms of Seshadri constants.We extend our theorem to weighted sums involving closed subschemes in subgeneral position, providing a joint generalization of Schmidt’s theorem with seminal inequalities of Nochka.A key aspect of the proof is the use of a lower bound for Seshadri constants of intersections from algebraic geometry, as well as a generalized Chebyshev inequality.As an application, we extend inequalities of Nochka and Ru–Wong from hyperplanes in 𝑚-subgeneral position to hypersurfaces in 𝑚-subgeneral position in projective space, proving a sharp result in dimensions 2 and 3, and coming within a factor of 3/2 of a sharp inequality in all dimensions.We state analogous results in Nevanlinna theory generalizing the second main theorem and Nochka’s theorem (Cartan’s conjecture).
