Holomorphic curves on hyperplane sections of 3-folds. (English) Zbl 0951.14014

Summary: We prove a conjectured height inequality of Lang and Vojta [see S. Lang, in: Number Theory. III: Diophantine Geometry, Encycl. Math. Sci. 60 (1991; Zbl 0744.14012)] for holomorphic curves lying on generic hyperplane sections of 3-folds. As a consequence we deduce a conjecture of S. Kobayashi [“Hyperbolic manifolds and holomorphic mappings” (1970; Zbl 0207.37902)] that a generic hypersurface in \(\mathbb{P}^3_\mathbb{C}\) of sufficiently high degree is hyperbolic.
