Abstract

We show that the Davenport-Stothers inequality from characteristic 0 fails in any characteristic p > 3. The proof uses elliptic surfaces over ℙ1 and inseparable base change. We then present adjusted inequalities. These follow from results of Pesenti and Szpiro. For characteristics 2 and 3, we achieve a similar result in terms of the maximal singular fibres of elliptic surfaces over ℙ1. Our ideas are also related to supersingular surfaces (in Shioda's sense).
