Abstract
In [St], [WS], Stoll and Wong-Stoll established the Second Main Theorem of mero- morphic maps f: M → P N (C) intersecting hyperplanes, under the assumption that f is linear non-degenerate, where M is a m-dimensional affine algebraic manifold(the proof actually works for more general category of Stein parabolic manifolds). This paper deals with the degenerate case. Us- ing P. Vojta's method, we show that there exists a finite union of proper linear subspaces ofP N (C), depending only on the given hyperplanes, such that for every (possibly degenerate) meromorphic map f: M → P N (C), if its image is not contained in that union, the inequality of Wong-Stoll's theorem still holds (without the ramification term). We also carefully examine the error terms appearing in the inequality.
