Abstract

Let k\Bbbk be any field of characteristic zero, XX be a cubic surface in Pk3\mathbb{P}^3_{\Bbbk} and GG be a group acting on XX. We show that if X(k)X(\Bbbk) \ne \varnothing and GG is not trivial and not a group of order 33 acting in a special way then the quotient surface X/GX / G is rational over k\Bbbk. For the group GG of order 33 we construct examples of both rational and nonrational quotients of both rational and nonrational GG-minimal cubic surfaces over k\Bbbk.
