AbstractLet S be a surface of general type. In this article, when there exists a relatively minimal hyperelliptic fibration whose slope is less than or equal to four, we give a lower bound on the Euler–Poincaré characteristic of S. Furthermore, we prove that our bound is the best possible by giving required hyperelliptic fibrations.

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.

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.

We prove under the Bombieri–Lang conjecture for surfaces that there is an absolute bound on the length of sequences of integer squares with constant second differences, for sequences which are not formed by the squares of integers in arithmetic progression. This answers a question proposed in 2010 by Browkin and Brzezinski, and independently by Gonzalez-Jimenez and Xarles. We also show that under the Bombieri–Lang conjecture for surfaces, for every [Formula: see text] there is an absolute bound on the length of sequences formed by [Formula: see text]th powers with constant second differences. This gives a conditional result on one of Mohanty’s conjectures on arithmetic progressions in Mordell’s elliptic curves [Formula: see text]. Moreover, we obtain an unconditional result regarding infinite families of such arithmetic progressions. We also study the case of hyperelliptic curves of the form [Formula: see text]. These results are proved by unconditionally finding all curves of genus zero or one on certain surfaces of general type. Moreover, we prove the unconditional analogues of these arithmetic results for function fields by finding all the curves of low genus on these surfaces.

AbstractA mixed quasi-étale quotient is the quotient of the product of a curve of genus at least 2 with itself by the action of a group which exchanges the two factors and acts freely outside a finite subset. A mixed quasi-étale surface is the minimal resolution of its singularities. We produce an algorithm computing all mixed quasi-étale surfaces with given geometric genus, irregularity and self-intersection of the canonical class. We prove that all irregular mixed quasi-étale surfaces of general type are minimal. As an application, we classify all irregular mixed quasi-étale surfaces of general type with genus equal to the irregularity, and all the regular ones with K2 > 0, thus constructing new examples of surfaces of general type with χ = 1. We mention the first example of a minimal surface of general type with pg = q = 1 and Albanese fibre of genus bigger than K2.

Abstract In this note, we construct three new infinite families of surfaces of general type with canonical map of degree 2 onto a surface of general type. For one of these families the canonical system has base points.

Let [Formula: see text] be a minimal smooth projective surface of general type with irregularity [Formula: see text]. We show that, if [Formula: see text] has a nontrivial holomorphic automorphism acting trivially on the cohomology with rational coefficients, then it is a surface isogenous to a product. As a consequence of this geometric characterization, one infers that no nontrivial automorphism of surfaces of general type with [Formula: see text] (which are not necessarily minimal) can be homotopic to the identity. In particular, such surfaces are rigidified in the sense of Fabrizio Catanese.

In this paper, we construct the first examples of complex surfaces of general type with arbitrarily large geometric genus whose canonical maps induce non-hyperelliptic fibrations of genus $g=4$, and on the other hand, we prove that there is no complex surface of general type whose canonical map induces a hyperelliptic fibrations of genus $g\geqslant 4$ if the geometric genus is large.

Let$S$be a smooth minimal complex surface of general type with$p_{g}=0$and$K^{2}=7$. We prove that any involution on$S$is in the center of the automorphism group of$S$. As an application, we show that the automorphism group of an Inoue surface with$K^{2}=7$is isomorphic to$\mathbb{Z}_{2}^{2}$or$\mathbb{Z}_{2}\times \mathbb{Z}_{4}$. We construct a$2$-dimensional family of Inoue surfaces with automorphism groups isomorphic to$\mathbb{Z}_{2}\times \mathbb{Z}_{4}$.

This is a continuation of [5]. In the present part, we study irregular even surfaces of general type with K < 4χ, where K and χ denote respectively a canonical divisor and the holomorphic Euler-Poincaré characteristic. As the first main theorem, we show the following: THEOREM 1. For any irregular even surface of general type with K < 4χ, the image of the Albanese map is a curve.

We show that a minimal surface of general type has a canonical symplectic structure (unique up to symplectomorphism) which is invariant for smooth deformation. We show that the symplectomorphism type is also invariant for deformations which allow certain normal singularities, provided one remains in the same smoothing component. We use this technique to show that the Manetti surfaces yield examples of surfaces of general type which are not deformation equivalent but are canonically symplectomorphic.
