On degenerations of $\mathbb Z/2$-Godeaux surfaces

Algebraic Geometry 2020-02-21 v1

Abstract

We compute equations for Coughlan's family of Godeaux surfaces with torsion Z/2\mathbb Z/2, which we call Z/2\mathbb Z/2-Godeaux surfaces, and we show that it is (at most) 7 dimensional. We classify non-rational KSBA degenerations WW of Z/2\mathbb Z/2-Godeaux surfaces with one Wahl singularity, showing that WW is birational to particular either Enriques surfaces, or D2,nD_{2,n} elliptic surfaces, with n=3,4n=3,4 or 66. We present examples for all possibilities in the first case, and for n=3,4n=3,4 in the second.
