Abstract

As a generalization of a quasi-elliptic surface, there is a quasi-hyperelliptic surface, a nonsingular projective surface which has a fibration structure whose general fiber is a quasi-hyperelliptic curve (== singular hyperelliptic curve with one cuspidal singular point) of genus (p1)/2(p-1)/2 in characteristic p5p \ge 5. In this paper, we consider unirational quasi-hyperelliptic surfaces in characteristic 55, and classify singular fibers and give a formula for the arithmetic genus and the self-intersection number of the canonical divisor. As a corollary, we classify rational quasi-hyperelliptic surfaces by determining the combinations of singular fibers, the defining equations and sections.
