英文摘要：

We provide a description of the fundamental group of the quotient of a product of topological spaces $X_i$, each admitting a universal cover, by a finite group $G$, provided that there is only a finite number of path-connected components in $X_i^g$ for every $g\in G$. This generalizes previous work of Bauer-Catanese-Grunewald-Pignatelli and Dedieu-Perroni.

New Examples of Mixed Beauville Groups

We generalise a construction of mixed Beauville groups first given by Bauer, Catanese and Grunewald. We go on to give several examples of infinite families of characteristically simple groups that satisfy the hypotheses of our theorem and thus provide a wealth of new examples of mixed Beauville groups.

Generation of finite simple groups with an application to groups acting on Beauville surfaces

We develop theorems which produce a multitude of hyperbolic triples for the finite classical groups. We apply these theorems to prove that every quasisimple group except Alt(5) and SL_2(5) is a Beauville group. In particular, we settle a conjecture of Bauer, Catanese and Grunewald which asserts that all non-abelian finite simple groups except for the alternating group $\Alt(5)$ are Beauville groups.

New Beauville surfaces and finite simple groups

In this paper we construct new Beauville surfaces with group either $\PSL(2,p^e)$, or belonging to some other families of finite simple groups of Lie type of low Lie rank, or an alternating group, or a symmetric group, proving a conjecture of Bauer, Catanese and Grunewald. The proofs rely on probabilistic group theoretical results of Liebeck and Shalev, on classical results of Macbeath and on recent results of Marion.

Beauville surfaces and finite simple groups

A Beauville surface is a rigid complex surface of the form (C1 x C2)/G, where C1 and C2 are non-singular, projective, higher genus curves, and G is a finite group acting freely on the product. Bauer, Catanese, and Grunewald conjectured that every finite simple group G, with the exception of A5, gives rise to such a surface. We prove that this is so for almost all finite simple groups (i.e., with at most finitely many exceptions). The proof makes use of the structure theory of finite simple groups, probability theory, and character estimates.

Beauville surfaces and finite groups

Extending results of Bauer, Catanese and Grunewald, and of Fuertes and González-Diez, we show that Beauville surfaces of unmixed type can be obtained from the groups L_2(q) and SL_2(q) for all prime powers q>5, and the Suzuki groups Sz(2^e) and the Ree groups R(3^e) for all odd e>1. We also show that L_2(q) and SL_2(q) admit strongly real Beauville structures, yielding real Beauville surfaces, if and only if q>5.

Absolute Galois acts faithfully on the components of the moduli space of surfaces: A Belyi-type theorem in higher dimension

Given an object over the algebraic closure Qbar of Q, there is often no reason for invariants of the corresponding holomorphic object to be preserved by the absolute Galois group Gal(Qbar/Q), and in general this is not true, although it is sometimes surprising to observe in practice. The case of covers of the projective line branched only over the points 0, 1, and infinity, through Belyi's theorem, leads to Grothendieck's dessins d'enfants program for understanding the absolute Galois group through its faithful action on such covers. This note is motivated by Catanese's question about a higher…

Simple groups admit Beauville structures

We answer a conjecture of Bauer, Catanese and Grunewald showing that all finite simple groups other than the alternating group of degree 5 admit unmixed Beauville structures. We also consider an analog of the result for simple algebraic groups which depends on some upper bounds for character values of regular semisimple elements in finite groups of Lie type and obtain definitive results about the variety of triples in semisimple regular classes with product 1. Finally, we prove that any finite simple group contains two conjugacy classes C,D such that any pair of elements in C x D generates the…

Beauville surfaces and probabilistic group theory

A Beauville surface is a complex algebraic surface that can be presented as a quotient of a product of two curves by a suitable action of a finite group. Bauer, Catanese and Grunewald have been able to intrinsically characterize the groups appearing in minimal presentations of Beauville surfaces in terms of the existence of a so-called "Beauville structure". They conjectured that all finite simple groups, except A5, admit such a structure. This conjecture has recently been proved by Guralnick-Malle and Fairbairn-Magaard-Parker. In this survey we demonstrate another approach towards the proof o…
