From Enriques surface to Artin-Mumford counterexample

Algebraic Geometry 2022-11-04 v1

Abstract

After an Introduction to the themes of Enriques surfaces and Rationality questions, the Artin-Mumford counterexample to Lueroth problem is revisited. A construction of it is given, which is related in an explicit way to the geometry of Enriques surfaces, more precisely to the special family of Reye congruences and their classical geometry.
