We compute equations for Coughlan's family of Godeaux surfaces with torsion $\mathbb Z/2$, which we call $\mathbb Z/2$-Godeaux surfaces, and we show that it is (at most) 7 dimensional. We classify non-rational KSBA degenerations $W$ of…

We prove that Godeaux--Reid surfaces with torsion group Z/3 have topological fundamental group Z/3. For this purpose, we describe degenerations to stable KSBA surfaces with one 1/4(1,1) singularity, whose minimal resolution are elliptic…

We prove the infinitesimal Torelli theorem for general minimal complex surfaces X's with the first Chern number 3, the geometric genus 1, and the irregularity 0 which have non-trivial 3-torsion divisors. We also show that the coarse moduli…

We give an explicit description of the Godeaux surfaces that admit an involution such that the quotient surface is birational to an Enriques surface; these surfaces give a 6-dimensional unirational irreducible subset of the moduli space of…

We study the moduli space of minimal surfaces of general type with $K_S^2 = 1$ and $p_g = 2$ and show that it is irreducible, has dimension $28$ and admits a compactification which is unirational.

Surfaces of general type with geometric genus $p_g=0$, which can be given as Galois covering of the projective plane branched over an arrangement of lines with Galois group $G=(\mathbb Z/q\mathbb Z)^k$, where $k\geq 2$ and $q$ is a prime…

We construct from a general del Pezzo surface of degree 1 a Gorenstein stable surfaces $X$ with $K_X^2=1$ and $p_g(X)=q(X)=0$. These surfaces are not smoothable but give an open subset of an irreducible component of the moduli space of…

We compute the automorphisms groups of all numerical Godeaux surfaces, i.e. minimal smooth surfaces of general type with K^2 = 1 and p_g = 0, with torsion of the Picard group of order \nu equals 3, 4, or 5. We present explicit…

In this paper we investigate the asymptotic growth of the number of irreducible and connected components of the moduli space of surfaces of general type corresponding to certain families of surfaces isogenous to a higher product with group…

In this paper we describe a construction method for numerical Godeaux surfaces based on homological algebra. We show the existence of an 8-dimensional locally complete family of simply connected numerical Godeaux surfaces.

Let $S$ be a very general smooth hypersurface of degree $6$ in $\mathbb{P}^3$. In this paper we will prove that the moduli space of $\mu$-stable rank $2$ torsion free sheaves with respect to hyperplane section having $c_1 =…

We settle the first step for the classification of surfaces of general type with K^2 = 8, p_g = 4 and q = 0, classifying the even surfaces (K is 2-divisible). The first even surfaces of general type with $K^2=8$, $p_g=4$ and $q=0$ were…

Cone spherical surfaces are orientable Riemannian surfaces with constant curvature one and a finite set of conical singularities. A subset of these surfaces, referred to as dihedral surfaces, is characterized by their monodromy groups,…

Minimal algebraic surfaces of general type with the smallest possible invariants have geometric genus zero and K^2=1 and are usually called "numerical Godeaux surfaces". Although they have been studied by several authors, their complete…

The Torelli group of a compact non-orientable Klein surface is the subgroup of the modular group consisting of the mapping classes that act trivially on the first homology group of the surface. We prove that if a surface has genus at least…

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 introduce the notion of topological hyperbolicity to characterize the largeness of the topological fundamental group of a complex variety. Inspired by the Shafarevich conjecture, we propose to study the topological hyperbolicity of…

We study the first homology group of the mapping class group and Torelli group with coefficients in the first rational homology group of the universal abelian cover of the surface. We prove two contrasting results: for surfaces with one…

In this paper, we prove the moduli spaces of genus zero stable log maps to a large class of wonderful compactifications are irreducible and unirational.

We study the extension of a hyperelliptic K3 surface to a Fano 6-fold. This determines a family of surfaces of general type with p_g=1, K^2=2 and hyperelliptic canonical curve, where each surface is a weighted complete intersection inside a…
