Abstract

We classify all normal stable Horikawa surfaces with only Q\mathbb{Q}-Gorenstein smoothable log canonical singularities. Furthermore, we provide a criterion for their global Q\mathbb{Q}-Gorenstein smoothability and describe the boundary strata of the moduli space of Q\mathbb{Q}-Gorenstein smoothable normal stable Horikawa surfaces.
