Minimal algebraic surfaces of general type [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text] are called Horikawa surfaces. In this note, [Formula: see text]-actions on Horikawa surfaces are studied. The main result states that given an admissible pair [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text], all the connected components of Gieseker’s moduli space [Formula: see text] contain surfaces admitting a [Formula: see text]-action. On the other hand, the examples considered allow us to produce normal stable surfaces that do not admit a [Formula: see text]-Gorenstein smoothing. This is illustrated by constructing non-smoothable normal surfaces in the KSBA-compactification [Formula: see text] of Gieseker’s moduli space [Formula: see text] for every admissible pair [Formula: see text] such that [Formula: see text]. Furthermore, the surfaces constructed belong to connected components of [Formula: see text] without canonical models.

AbstractWe establish Noether’s inequality for surfaces of general type in positive characteristic. Then we extend Enriques’ and Horikawa’s classification of surfaces on the Noether line, the so-called Horikawa surfaces. We construct examples for all possible numerical invariants and in arbitrary characteristic, where we need foliations and deformation techniques to handle characteristic 2. Finally, we show that Horikawa surfaces lift to characteristic zero.

This chapter discusses complex algebraic surfaces, with particular emphasis on the Miyaoka-Yau inequality and the rough classification of surfaces. Every complex algebraic surface is birationally equivalent to a smooth surface containing no exceptional curves. The latter is known as a minimal surface. Two related birational invariants, the plurigenus and the Kodaira dimension, play an important role in distinguishing between complex surfaces. The chapter first provides an overview of the rough classification of (smooth complex connected compact algebraic) surfaces before presenting two approaches that, in dimension 2, give the Miyaoka-Yau inequality. The first, due to Miyaoka, uses algebraic geometry, whereas the second, due to Aubin and Yau, uses analysis and differential geometry. The chapter also explains why equality in the Miyaoka-Yau inequality characterizes surfaces of general type that are free quotients of the complex 2-ball.
