We prove that if a contact 3-manifold admits an open book decomposition of genus 0, a certain intersection pattern cannot appear in the homology of any of its minimal symplectic fillings, and moreover, fillings cannot contain symplectic…

We give obstructions - in terms of Gaussian maps - for a marked Prym curve $(C,\alpha,T_d)$ to admit a singular model lying on an Enriques surface with only one $d$-ordinary point singularity and in such a way that $T_d$ corresponds to the…

Let X be a K3 surface with an involution g which has non-empty fixed locus X^g and acts non-trivially on a non-zero holomorphic 2-form. We shall construct all such pairs (X, g) in a canonical way, from some better known double coverings of…

We prove the existence of $(20-2K^2)$-dimensional families of simply-connected surfaces with ample canonical class, $p_g=1$, and $1 \leq K^2 \leq 9$, and we study the relation with configurations of rational curves in K3 surfaces via…

We study the second order invariants of a Lorentzian surface in $\mathbb{R}^{2,2},$ and the curvature hyperbolas associated to its second fundamental form. Besides the four natural invariants, new invariants appear in some degenerate…

Let W -> A^2 be the universal Weierstrass family of cubic curves over C. For each N >= 2, we construct surfaces parametrizing the three standard kinds of level N structures on the smooth fibers of W. We then complete these surfaces to…

The quotient space of a $K3$ surface by a finite group is an Enriques surface or a rational surface if it is smooth. Finite groups where the quotient space are Enriques surfaces are known. In this paper, by analyzing effective divisors on…

We study the groups of automorphisms of rational algebraic surfaces that admit a relatively minimal pencil of curves of arithmetic genus one over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic. In particular, we classify such…

A complex compact surface which carries an automorphism of positive topological entropy has been proved by Cantat to be either a torus, a K3 surface, an Enriques surface or a rational surface. Automorphisms of rational surfaces are quite…

We show that the general Enriques surface can be recovered from the Kuznetsov component of its bounded derived category of coherent sheaves.

We prove that there exists a pencil of Enriques surfaces defined over $\mathbb{Q}$ with non-algebraic integral Hodge classes of non-torsion type. This gives the first example of a threefold with the trivial Chow group of zero-cycles on…

We compute the monodromy groups of real Enriques surfaces of hyperbolic type. The principal tools are the deformation classification of such surfaces and a modified version of Donaldson's trick, relating real Enriques surfaces and real…

We construct smooth minimal complex surfaces of general type with $K^2=7$ and: $p_g=q=2,$ Albanese map of degree $2$ onto a $(1,2)$-polarized abelian surface; $p_g=q=1$ as a double cover of a quartic Kummer surface; $p_g=q=0$ as a double…

Consider an arbitrary automorphism of an Enriques surface with its lift to the covering K3 surface. We prove a bound of the order of the lift acting on the anti-invariant cohomology sublattice of the Enriques involution. We use it to obtain…

We produce a family of numerical Campedelli surfaces with \Z/6 torsion by constructing the (Gorenstein codimension 5) canonical ring of the \'{e}tale six to one cover using serial unprojection. In Section 2 we develop the necessary…

We show that the (twisted) derived category "recognizes" the three different kinds of Enriques surfaces in characteristic 2

The compactification $\overline M_{1,3}$ of the Gieseker moduli space of surfaces of general type with $K_X^2 =1 $ and $\chi(X)=3$ in the moduli space of stable surfaces parametrises so-called stable I-surfaces. We classify all such…

This article studies the moduli spaces of semistable objects related to two families of Enriques categories over K3 surfaces, coming from quartic double solids and special Gushel--Mukai threefolds. In particular, some classic geometric…

We present the complete list of all singularity types on Gorenstein $\mathbb{Q}$-homology projective planes, i.e., normal projective surfaces of second Betti number one with at worst rational double points. The list consists of $58$…

We complement recent work of Gallardo, Pearlstein, Schaffler, and Zhang, showing that the stable surfaces with $K_X^2 =1$ and $\chi(\mathcal O_X) = 3$ they construct are indeed the only ones arising from imposing an exceptional unimodal…
