We show that among simply connected surfaces of general type unirationality is a common feature, even when fixing the positive characteristic or numerical invariants. To do so, we construct unirational Horikawa surfaces in abundance.
We construct three sequences of regular surfaces of general type with unbounded numerical invariants whose canonical map is 2-to-1 onto a canonically embedded surface. Only sporadic examples of surfaces with these properties were previously…
We classify surfaces of general type whose bicanonical map is composed with a rational map of degree 2 onto a rational or ruled surface.
We prove existence and nonexistence results for annular type parametric surfaces with prescribed, almost constant mean curvature, characterized as normal graphs of compact portions of unduloids or nodoids in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$, and whose…
We explicit some general properties regarding surfaces with Prym-canonical hyperplane sections and the geometric genus of their possible singularities. Moreover, we construct new examples of this type of surfaces.
This paper investigates the geometry of canonically polarized surfaces defined over a field of positive characteristic which have a nontrivial global vector field, and the implications that the existence of such surfaces has in the moduli…
We construct some complex surfaces of general type with maximal Picard number. These examples arise as fibrations of genus two curves over quaternionic Shimura curves.
We study the topological index of some irregular surfaces that we call generalized Lagrangian. We show that under certain hypotheses on the base locus of the Lagrangian system the topological index is non-negative. For the minimal surfaces…
We show that all non-developable ruled surfaces endowed with Ricci metrics in the three-dimensional Euclidean space may be constructed using curves of constant torsion and its binormal. This allows us to give characterizations of the…
This paper presents new examples of projective surfaces of general type over $\mathbb{C}$ with canonical map of degree $ 3 $ onto a surface of general type. Very few examples are known of such surfaces and some of the examples in this paper…
Building on work of Segre and Koll'ar on cubic hypersurfaces, we construct over imperfect fields of characteristic p\geq 3 particular hypersurfaces of degree p, which show that geometrically rational schemes that are regular and whose…
In the present note we show that any surface of general type with $p_g=2$,$q=1$ and non-birational bicanonical map has a pencil of curves of genus 2. Combining this result with previous ones, one obtains thatan irregular surface $S$ of…
We show that a minimal surface of general type has a canonical symplectic structure (unique up to symplectomorphism) which is invariant for smooth deformation. We show that the symplectomorphism type is also invariant for deformations which…
A determination of the fixed components, base points and irregularity is made for arbitrary numerically effective divisors on any smooth projective rational surface having an effective anticanonical divisor. All of the results are proven…
In this article, we investigate some properties of cyclic coverings of complex surfaces of general type branched along smooth curves that are numerically equivalent to a multiple of the canonical class. The main results concern coverings of…
We classify completely the surfaces of general type whose canonical map is 3-to-1 onto a surface of minimal degree in projective space. These surfaces fall into 5 distinct classes and we give explicit examples belonging to each of these…
We establish a generic vanishing theorem for surfaces in characteristic $p$ that lift to $W_2(k)$ and use it for surface classification of surfaces of general type with Euler characteristic 1 and large Albanese dimension.
We study surfaces with a constant ratio of principal curvatures in Euclidean and simply isotropic geometries and characterize rotational, channel, ruled, helical, and translational surfaces of this kind under some technical restrictions…
We construct a surface of general type with invariants \( \chi = K^2 = 1 \) and torsion group \( \Bbb{Z}/{2} \). We use a double plane construction by finding a plane curve with certain singularities, resolving these, and taking the double…
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…
