New surfaces with canonical map of high degree

Abstract

We give an algorithm that, for a given value of the geometric genus pg,p_g, computes all regular product-quotient surfaces with abelian group that have at most canonical singularities and have canonical system with at most isolated base points. We use it to show that there are exactly two families of such surfaces with canonical map of degree 3232. We also construct a surface with q=1q=1 and canonical map of degree 2424. These are regular surfaces with pg=3p_g=3 and base point free canonical system. We discuss the case of regular surfaces with pg=4p_g=4 and base point free canonical system.
