We construct a canonical basis of two-cycles, on a $K3$ surface, in which the intersection form takes the canonical form $2E_8(-1) \oplus 3H$. The basic elements are realized by formal sums of smooth submanifolds.
In this article we study the deformation of finite maps and show how to use this deformation theory to construct varieties with given invariants in a projective space. Among other things, we prove a criterion that determines when a finite…
In this note, we construct nine families of projective complex minimal surfaces of general type having the canonical map of degree 8 and irregularity 0 or 1. For six of these families the canonical system has a non trivial fixed part.
In this note, we construct two minimal surfaces of general type with geometric genus p_g= 3, irregularity q = 0, self-intersection of the canonical divisor K^22 =20,24 such that their canonical map is of degree 20. In one of these surfaces,…
Canonical principal parameters are introduced for surfaces in $\mathbb R^3$ without umbilical points. It is proved that in these parameters the surface is determined (up to position in space) by a pair of invariants satisfying a partial…
In the present work the rooted and unrooted d-regular maps on 2-dimentional oriented surfaces of genus g are enumerated. Separately and in more detail the case of d-regular maps with a single face are considered.
In this note, we construct a minimal surface of general type with geometric genus p g = 4, self-intersection of the canonical divisor K^2 = 32 and irregularity q = 1 such that its canonical map is an abelian cover of degree 16 of P^1 x P^1.
In this note we present examples of complex algebraic surfaces with canonical maps of degree $12$, $13$, $15$, $16$ and $18$. They are constructed as quotients of a product of two curves of genus $10$ and $19$ using certain non-free actions…
We give a new construction of the irregular, generalized Lagrangian, surfaces of general type with p_g=5, \chi=2, K^2=8, recently discovered by Chad Schoen. Our approach proves that, if S is a general Schoen surface, its canonical map is a…
In this note we present examples of complex algebraic surfaces of general type with canonical maps of degree $10$, $11$ and $14$. They are constructed as quotients of a product of two Fermat septics using certain free actions of the group…
In this paper some numerical restrictions for surfaces with an involution are obtained. These formulas are used to study surfaces of general type $S$ with $p_g=q=1$ having an involution $i$ such that $S/i$ is a non-ruled surface and such…
We prove the existence of canonical scrolls; that is, scrolls playing the role of canonical curves. First of all, they provide the geometrical version of Riemann Roch Teorem: any special scroll is the projection of a canonical scroll and…
In this note we construct an unlimited family of irregular algebraic surfaces of general type with canonical map of degree $ 8 $, irregularity $ 1 $ and arbitrarily large geometric genus such that the image of the canonical map is not a…
We construct a surface with irregularity $q=2,$ geometric genus $p_g=3,$ self-intersection of the canonical divisor $K^2=16$ and canonical map of degree $16.$
We use the Borisov-Keum equations of a fake projective plane and the Borisov-Yeung equations of the Cartwright-Steger surface to show the existence of a regular surface with canonical map of degree 36 and of an irregular surface with…
In this paper, we show that if $X$ is a smooth variety of general type of dimension $m \geq 3$ for which the canonical map induces a triple cover onto $Y$, where $Y$ is a projective bundle over $\mathbf P^1$ or onto a projective space or…
We construct a complex algebraic surface with geometric genus $p_g=3$, irregularity $q=0$, self-intersection of the canonical divisor $K^2=24$ and canonical map of degree $24$ onto $\mathbb P^2$.
We consider a family of surfaces of general type $S$ with $K_S$ ample, having $K^2_S = 24, p_g (S) = 6, q(S)=0$. We prove that for these surfaces the canonical system is base point free and yields an embedding $\Phi_1 : S \rightarrow…
We give two examples of surfaces with canonical map of degree 4 onto a canonical surface.
We give an algorithm that, for a given value of the geometric genus $p_g,$ computes all regular product-quotient surfaces with abelian group that have at most canonical singularities and have canonical system with at most isolated base…
