Bound of automorphisms of projective varieties of general type

Abstract

We prove that there exists a positive number $C_{n}$ depending only on $n$ such that for every smooth projective $n$-fold of general type $X$ defined over {\bf C}, the automorphism group $Aut(X)$ satisfies the inequality $\sharp{Aut}(X)\leq C_{n}\cdotμ(X,K_{X})$, where $μ(X,K_{X})$ is the volume of $X$ with respect to $K_{X}$.
