On numerically pluricanonical cyclic coverings
Abstract
In this article, we investigate some properties of cyclic coverings of complex surfaces of general type branched along smooth curves that are numerically equivalent to a multiple of the canonical class. The main results concern coverings of surfaces of general type with p_g=0 and Miyaoka--Yau surfaces; in particular, they provide new examples of multicomponent moduli spaces of surfaces with given Chern numbers as well as new examples of surfaces that are not deformation equivalent to their complex conjugates.

Revised version, 21 pages, submitted to Izvestiya: Mathematics. Some results in Section 3 are improved (in particular, better lower bounds in new Corollary 4 than in former Corollary 2). A few mirsprints are corrected. Several references are added
