Hyperbolicity of Algebraic Surfaces

I propose to discuss the main conjecture (the Green-Griffiths conjecture) on the complex hyperbolicity of algebraic surfaces, its consequences in the spirit of the dictum of Bloch: “nihil est in infinito quod non fuerit prius in finito”, and how one proves such things. Various further details may be found at http://www.mat.uniroma2.it/~mcquilla/
