Abstract

Inoue constructed the first examples of smooth minimal complex surfaces of general type with pg=0p_g=0 and K2=7K^2=7.These surfaces are finite Galois covers of the 44-nodal cubic surface with the Galois group, the Klein group Z2×Z2\mathbb{Z}_2\times \mathbb{Z}_2. For such a surface SS, the bicanonical map of SS has degree 22 and it is composed with exactly one involution in the Galois group. The divisorial part of the fixed locus of this involution consists of two irreducible components:one is a genus 33 curve with self-intersection number 00 and the other is a genus 22 curve with self-intersection number 1-1. Conversely, assume that SS is a smooth minimal complex surface of general type with pg=0p_g=0, K2=7K^2=7 and having an involution σ\sigma. We show that, if the divisorial part of the fixed locus of σ\sigma consists of two irreducible components R1R_1 and R2R_2,with g(R1)=3,R12=0,g(R2)=2g(R_1)=3, R_1^2=0, g(R_2)=2 and R22=1R_2^2=-1, then the Klein group Z2×Z2\mathbb{Z}_2\times \mathbb{Z}_2 acts faithfully on SS and SS is indeed an Inoue surface.
