This is the final paper in a series of four, concerning the surface $T \times T$ embedded in $\mathbb{CP}^8$, where $T$ is a the one dimensional torus. In this paper we compute the fundamental group of the Galois cover of the surface with…
In this paper we classify completely all regular minimal surfaces with K^2=8, p_g=4 whose canonical map is composed with an involution. We obtain six unirational families of respective dimensions 28,28,32,33,38,34. The last two are…
In this paper we give the topological classification of real primary Kodaira surfaces and we describe in detail the structure of the corresponding moduli space. One of the main tools is the orbifold fundamental group of a real variety. Our…
We construct infinitely many abelian surfaces A defined over the rational numbers such that, for a prime ell <= 7, the ell-torsion subgroup of A is not isomorphic as a Galois module to the ell-torsion subgroup of its dual. We do this by…
We present a computational method for detecting highly singular members in families of algebraic varieties. Applying this approach to a family of numerical Godeaux surfaces, we obtain explicit examples with many singularities. In…
In this paper we finish the topological classification of real algebraic surfaces of Kodaira dimension zero and we make a step towards the Enriques classification of real algebraic surfaces, by describing in detail the structure of the…
In this paper we study the smooth moduli space of closed Riemann surfaces. This smooth moduli is an infinite cover of the usual moduli space $\mathscr{M}_g$ of closed Riemann surfaces, and is identified with the Schottky space of rank $g.$…
We determine the cones of effective and nef divisors on the toroidal compactification of the ball quotient model of the moduli space of complex cubic surfaces with a chosen line. From this we also compute the corresponding cones for the…
We show that the Galois group $Gal(\bar{\Q} /\Q)$ operates faithfully on the set of connected components of the moduli spaces of surfaces of general type, and also that for each element $\sigma \in Gal(\bar{\Q} /\Q)$ different from the…
A recent construction of Hacking relates the classification of stable vector bundles on a surface of general type with $p_g = 0$ and the boundary of the moduli space of deformations of the surface. In the present paper we analyze this…
We classify minimal surfaces $S$ of general type with $p_g=q=2$ and $K_S^2=6$ whose Albanese map is a generically finite double cover. We show that the corresponding moduli space is the disjoint union of three generically smooth,…
The Eisenstein-Picard modular surface $M$ is the quotient space of the complex hyperbolic plane by the modular group $\rm PU(2,1; \mathbb{Z}[\omega])$. We determine the global topology of $M$ as a 4-orbifold.
For each odd integer $p > 1$, we construct infinitely many pairwise non-diffeomorphic irreducible smooth structures on a definite 4-manifold with infinite fundamental group whose abelianization is $\Z/2p\Z\times \Z/2\Z$.
In this paper we construct a moduli space for marked rational elliptic surfaces of index two as a non-complete toric variety of dimension nine. We also construct compactifications of this moduli space, which are obtained as quotients of…
Using a new description of Keum Naie surfaces and their fundamental group, we prove the following main result: Let S be a smooth complex projective surface which is homotopically equivalent to a Keum - Naie surface. Then S is a Keum - Naie…
We study the topology of the moduli space of unramified $\mathbb{Z}/p$-covers of tropical curves of genus $g \geq 2$, where $p$ is a prime number. We use recent techniques by Chan--Galatius--Payne to identify contractible subcomplexes of…
We show that all the semi-smooth stable complex Godeaux surfaces, classified in [FPR18a], are smoothable, and that the moduli stack is smooth of the expected dimension 8 at the corresponding points.
We complement Catanese's results on isotrivially fibred surfaces by completely describing the components containing an isotrivial surface with monodromy group $\ZZ/2\ZZ$. We also give an example for deformation equivalent isotrivial…
We prove the irreducibility of the moduli space of rank 2 semistable torsion free sheaves (with a generic polarization and any value of c_2) on a K3 or a del Pezzo surface. In the case of a K3 surface, we need to prove a result on the…
Let SU_X(3) be the moduli space of semi-stable vector bundles of rank 3 and trivial determinant on a curve X of genus 2. It maps onto P^8 and the map is a double cover branched over a sextic hypersurface called the Coble sextic. In the dual…
