Exercise 111.59.6. Let k be an algebraically closed field. Let g \geq 3. Let X and X' be smooth projective curves over k of genus g and g + 1. Let Y \subset X \times X' be a curve such that the projections Y \to X and Y \to X' are nonconstant. Prove that the nonsingular projective model of Y has genus \geq 2g + 1.
