The bounded negativity conjecture for plane curves with bounded genus
Let be a fixed algebraically closed ground field. A multiplicity sequence is a positive integer sequence arising from a reduced plane curve, with the recording singularity multiplicities, and a curve has multiplicity bound if for every . A genus bound means that the normalization of each irreducible component has genus at most . Bounded negativity conjecture for bounded genus. For every choice of integers , and , there are only finitely many multiplicity sequences arising for irreducible plane curves over with multiplicity bound , genus bound and having at most singular points of multiplicity less than .
This is one of the paper's proposed characteristic-free formulations related to bounded negativity. The source gives no resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
