Beauville Surface

A Beauville surface is a rigid surface of general type arising as a quotient of a product of curves $C_{1}$, $C_{2}$ of genera $g_{1},g_{2}\ge 2$ by the free action of a finite group $G$. In this paper we study those Beauville surfaces for which $G$ is abelian (so that $G\cong \mathsf{Z}_{n}^{2}$ with $\gcd(n,6)=1$ by a result of Catanese). For each such $n$ we are able to describe all such surfaces, give a formula for the number of their isomorphism classes and identify their possible automorphism groups. This explicit description also allows us to observe that such surfaces are all defined over $\mathsf{Q}$.

If $S$ is a quintic surface in $\mathbb{P}^{3}$ with singular set 15 3-divisible ordinary cusps, then there is a Galois triple cover ${\it\phi}:X\rightarrow S$ branched only at the cusps such that $p_{g}(X)=4$, $q(X)=0$, $K_{X}^{2}=15$ and ${\it\phi}$ is the canonical map of $X$. We use computer algebra to search for such quintics having a free action of $\mathbb{Z}_{5}$, so that $X/\mathbb{Z}_{5}$ is a smooth minimal surface of general type with $p_{g}=0$ and $K^{2}=3$. We find two different quintics, one of which is the van der Geer–Zagier quintic; the other is new.We also construct a quintic threefold passing through the 15 singular lines of the Igusa quartic, with 15 cuspidal lines there. By taking tangent hyperplane sections, we compute quintic surfaces with singular sets $17\mathsf{A}_{2}$, $16\mathsf{A}_{2}$, $15\mathsf{A}_{2}+\mathsf{A}_{3}$ and $15\mathsf{A}_{2}+\mathsf{D}_{4}$.

Inoue Surfaces

Let$S$be a smooth minimal complex surface of general type with$p_{g}=0$and$K^{2}=7$. We prove that any involution on$S$is in the center of the automorphism group of$S$. As an application, we show that the automorphism group of an Inoue surface with$K^{2}=7$is isomorphic to$\mathbb{Z}_{2}^{2}$or$\mathbb{Z}_{2}\times \mathbb{Z}_{4}$. We construct a$2$-dimensional family of Inoue surfaces with automorphism groups isomorphic to$\mathbb{Z}_{2}\times \mathbb{Z}_{4}$.

Beauville Surface

Abstract A Beauville surface is defined by the action of a finite group (Beauville group) on the product of two compact Riemann surfaces. In this paper, we consider higher products and the possibility of a similar action by a finite group, which we call a generalised Beauville group; we prove several results regarding the existence and construction of infinite families of generalised Beauville groups and provide a complete classification of the abelian ones; we list all generalised Beauville groups of orders from 1 to 1023.

AbstractLet S be a surface of general type. In this article, when there exists a relatively minimal hyperelliptic fibration whose slope is less than or equal to four, we give a lower bound on the Euler–Poincaré characteristic of S. Furthermore, we prove that our bound is the best possible by giving required hyperelliptic fibrations.

If A is a group acting on a set X and x ∈ X, we denote the stabilizer of x in A by CA(x) and let Γ(x) be the set of elements of X fixed by CA(x). We shall say the action of A is partitive if the distinct subsets Γ(x), x ∈ X, partition X. A special example of this phenomenon is the case of a semiregular action (when CA (x) = 1 for every x ∈ X so the induced partition is a trivial one). Our concern here is with the case that A is a group of automorphisms of a finite group G and X = G#, the set of non-identity elements of G. We shall prove that if A is nilpotent, then except in a very restricted situation, partitivity implies semiregularity.

AbstractLet R be a commutative ring with identity, and let A be a finitely generated R-algebra with Jacobson radical N and center C. An R-inertial subalgebra of A is a R-separable subalgebra B with the property that B+N=A. Suppose A is separable over C and possesses a finite group G of R-automorphisms whose restriction to C is faithful with fixed ring R. If R is an inertial subalgebra of C, necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of an R-inertial subalgebra of A are found when the order of G is a unit in R. Under these conditions, an R-inertial subalgebra B of A is characterized as being the fixed subring of a group of R-automorphisms of A. Moreover, A ⋍ B ⊗R C. Analogous results are obtained when C has an R-inertial subalgebra S ⊃ R.

We prove (1) Every free action of G on Ul + 2 lifts to a free action of G on the orientable two fold cover Tl+1 → Ul+1 and (2) The minimum k such that can act freely on Tk is ml((l - 2)/2) + 1 if m = 2 or l is even and ml((l - 1)/2) + 1 otherwise.

A Finite Group

In [3] we initiated our study of the automorphism groups of a certain class of near-rings. Specifically, let P be any complex polynomial and let P denote the near-ring of all continuous selfmaps of the complex plane where addition of functions is pointwise and the product fg of two functions f and g in P is defined by fg=f∘P∘g. The near-ring P is referred to as a laminated near-ring with laminating element P. In [3], we characterised those polynomials P(z)=anzn + an−1zn−1 +…+a0 for which Aut P is a finite group. We are able to show that Aut P is finite if and only if Deg P≧3 and ai ≠ 0 for some i ≠ 0, n. In addition, we were able to completely determine those infinite groups which occur as automorphism groups of the near-rings P. There are exactly three of them. One is GL(2) the full linear group of all real 2×2 nonsingular matrices and the other two are subgroups of GL(2). In this paper, we begin our study of the finite automorphism groups of the near-rings P. We get a result which, in contrast to the situation for the infinite automorphism groups, shows that infinitely many finite groups occur as automorphism groups of the near-rings under consideration. In addition to this and other results, we completely determine Aut P when the coefficients of P are real and Deg P = 3 or 4.

A Finite Group

Let G be a finite group of automorphisms of an associative ring R. Then the inner automorphisms (x↦ u−1xu = xu, for some unit u of R) contained in G form a normal subgroup G0 of G. In general, the Galois theory associated with the outer automorphism group G/G0 is quit well behaved (e.g. [7], 2·3–2·7, 2·10), while little group-theoretic restriction on the structure of G/G0 may be expected (even when R is a commutative field). The structure of the inner automorphism groups G0 does not seem to have received much attention so far. Here we classify the finite groups of inner automorphisms of division rings, i.e. the finite subgroups of PGL (1, D), where D is a division ring. Such groups also arise in the study of finite collineation groups of projective spaces (via the fundamental theorem of projective geometry, cf. [1], 2·26), and provide examples of finite groups having faithful irreducible projective representations over fields.
