AbstractWe establish Noether’s inequality for surfaces of general type in positive characteristic. Then we extend Enriques’ and Horikawa’s classification of surfaces on the Noether line, the so-called Horikawa surfaces. We construct examples for all possible numerical invariants and in arbitrary characteristic, where we need foliations and deformation techniques to handle characteristic 2. Finally, we show that Horikawa surfaces lift to characteristic zero.

This chapter discusses complex algebraic surfaces, with particular emphasis on the Miyaoka-Yau inequality and the rough classification of surfaces. Every complex algebraic surface is birationally equivalent to a smooth surface containing no exceptional curves. The latter is known as a minimal surface. Two related birational invariants, the plurigenus and the Kodaira dimension, play an important role in distinguishing between complex surfaces. The chapter first provides an overview of the rough classification of (smooth complex connected compact algebraic) surfaces before presenting two approaches that, in dimension 2, give the Miyaoka-Yau inequality. The first, due to Miyaoka, uses algebraic geometry, whereas the second, due to Aubin and Yau, uses analysis and differential geometry. The chapter also explains why equality in the Miyaoka-Yau inequality characterizes surfaces of general type that are free quotients of the complex 2-ball.

A minimal surface of general type with pg(S) = 0 satisfies 1 [les ] K2 [les ] 9, and it is known that the image of the bicanonical map φ is a surface for K2S [ges ] 2, whilst for K2S [ges ] 5, the bicanonical map is always a morphism. In this paper it is shown that φ is birational if K2S = 9, and that the degree of φ is at most 2 if K2S = 7 or K2S = 8.By presenting two examples of surfaces S with K2S = 7 and 8 and bicanonical map of degree 2, it is also shown that this result is sharp. The example with K2S = 8 is, to our knowledge, a new example of a surface of general type with pg = 0.The degree of φ is also calculated for two other known surfaces of general type with pg = 0 and K2S = 8. In both cases, the bicanonical map turns out to be birational.

AbstractIn this paper we prove that surfaces of general type with irregularity $q\geq 3$ are rationally cohomologically rigidified, and so are minimal surfaces $S$ with $q(S)= 2$ unless ${ K}_{S}^{2} = 8\chi ({ \mathcal{O} }_{S} )$. Here a surface $S$ is said to be rationally cohomologically rigidified if its automorphism group $\mathrm{Aut} (S)$ acts faithfully on the cohomology ring ${H}^{\ast } (S, \mathbb{Q} )$. As examples we give a complete classification of surfaces isogenous to a product with $q(S)= 2$ that are not rationally cohomologically rigidified.

Kodaira fibrations are surfaces of general type with a non-isotrivial fibration, which are differentiable fiber bundles. They are known to have positive signature divisible by [Formula: see text]. Examples are known only with signature 16 and more. We review approaches to construct examples of low signature which admit two independent fibrations. Special attention is paid to ramified covers of product of curves which we analyze by studying the monodromy action for bundles of punctured curves. As a by-product, we obtain a classification of all fix-point-free automorphisms on curves of genus at most [Formula: see text].

Abstract The smallest topological Euler–Poincaré characteristic supported on a smooth surface of general type is 3. In this paper, we show that such a surface has to be a fake projective plane unless h1, 0(M) = 1. Together with the classification of fake projective planes given by Prasad and Yeung, the recent work of Cartwright and Steger, and a proof of the arithmeticity of the lattices involved in the present article, this gives a classification of such surfaces.
