Galois groups of co-abelian ball quotient covers
Abstract
If is a torsion free toroidal compactification of a discrete ball quotient and is the blow-down of the -curves to the corresponding minimal model, then coincides with the finite group . In particular, for an elliptic curve with endomorphism ring and a split abelian surface , is a finite subgroup of , where is the translation group of and . The present work classifies the finite subgroups of for an arbitrary elliptic curve . By the means of the geometric invariants theory, it characterizes the Kodaira-Enriques types of , in terms of the fixed point sets of on . The abelian and the K3 surfaces are elaborated in \cite{KN}. The first section provides necessary and sufficient conditions for to be a hyper-elliptic, ruled with elliptic base, Enriques or a rational surface. In such a way, it depletes the Kodaira-Enriques classification of the finite Galois quotients of a split abelian surface . The second section derives a complete list of the conjugacy classes of the linear automorphisms of of finite order, by the means of their eigenvalues. The third section classifies the finite subgroups of . The last section provides explicit generators and relations for the finite subgroups of with K3, hyper-elliptic, rules with elliptic base or Enriques quotients .
