Hirzebruch Surfaces: Degenerations, Related Braid Monodromy, Galois Covers

We describe various properties of Hirzebruch surfaces and related constructions: degenerations, braid monodromy, Galois covers and their Chern classes.

Representations of Galois Groups on the Homology of Surfaces

Let $p:Σ'\toΣ$ be a finite Galois cover, possibly branched, with Galois group $G$. We are interested in the structure of the cohomology of $Σ'$ as a module over $G$. We treat the cases of branched and unbranched covers separately. In the case of branched covers, we give a complete classification of possible module structures of $H_1(Σ',\bC)$. In the unbranched case, we algebro-geometrically realize the representation of $G$ on holomorphic 1-forms on $Σ'$ as functions on unions of $G$-torsors. We also explicitly realize these representations for certain branched covers of hyperelliptic curves. …

A cusp singularity with no Galois cover by a complete intersection

With an explicit example, we confirm a conjecture by Neumann and Wahl that there exist cusps with no Galois cover by a complete intersection. Some computational techniques are reviewed, and a method for deciding whether a given cusp has a complete intersection Galois cover is developed.

Hurwitz spaces of Galois coverings of P^1 with Galois groups Weyl groups

We prove the irreducibility of the Hurwitz spaces which parametrize Galois coverings of P^1 whose Galois group is an arbitrary Weyl group and the local monodromies are reflections. This generalizes a classical theorem due to Clebsch and Hurwitz.

On metabelian galois coverings of complex algebraic varieties

Let $f:X\to Y$ be a finite ramified Galois covering of algebraic varieties defined over the complex numbers. In this paper, we prove some structure theorems for such coverings in the case that the non-abelian Galois group of the cover is metabelian (in particular metacyclic). Our results extend the previous ones, obtained by several authors, in the case of abelian and dihedral Galois coverings. In analogy with the abelian (and generalizing the dihedral) case, we find "building data" of metabelian covers from which the cover can be reconstructed. In addition to analyzing several examples, we co…

Remarks on Galois rational covers

In this note we improve the theorem on Galois rational covers $X\dashrightarrow V$ for primitive Fano varieties $V$, recently proven by the author, in the two directions: we extend to the maximum the class of Galois groups $G$, for which the proof works, and relax the conditions that must be satisfied by the variety $V$ -- the divisorial canonicity alone is sufficient.

Ramified Galois covers via monoidal functors

We interpret Galois covers in terms of particular monoidal functors, extending the correspondence between torsors and fiber functors. As applications we characterize tame $G$-covers between normal varieties for finite and étale group schemes and we prove that, if $G$ is a finite, flat and finitely presented nonabelian and linearly reductive group scheme over a ring, then the moduli stack of $G$-covers is reducible.

Non-constant curves of genus 2 with infinite pro-Galois covers

For every odd prime number p, we give examples of non-constant smooth families of genus 2 curves over fields of characteristic p which have pro-Galois (pro-étale) covers of infinite degree with geometrically connected fibers. The Jacobians of the curves are isomorphic to products of elliptic curves.

The fundamental group of Galois cover of the surface ${\mathbb T} \times {\mathbb T}$

This is the final paper in a series of four, concerning the surface $T \times T$ embedded in $\mathbb{CP}^8$, where $T$ is a the one dimensional torus. In this paper we compute the fundamental group of the Galois cover of the surface with respect to a generic projection onto $\mathbb{CP}^2$, and show that it is nilpotent of class 3. This is the first time such a group is presented as the fundamental group of a Galois cover of a surface.

Rational curves of degree four with two inner Galois points

We characterize plane rational curves of degree four with two or more inner Galois points. A computer verifies the existence of plane rational curves of degree four with three inner Galois points. This would be the first example of a curve with exactly three them. Our result implies that Miura's bound is sharp for rational curves.

On the existence of a torsor structure for Galois covers over a complete discrete valuation ring

In this note we investigate the problem of existence of a torsor structure for Galois covers of (formal) schemes over a complete discrete valuation ring of residue characteristic $p>0$ in the case of abelian Galois groups of type (p,p,...,p).

Automorphisms of Galois Coverings of Generic $m$-Canonical Projections

The automorphism group of the Galois covering induced by a pluri-canonical generic covering of a projective space is investigated. It is shown that by means of such coverings one obtains, in dimensions one and two, serieses of specific actions of the symmetric groups $S_d$ on curves and surfaces not deformable to an action of $S_d$ which is not the full automorphism group. As an application, new DIF $\ne$ DEF examples for $G$-varieties in complex and real geometry are given.

Moduli of Galois p-covers in mixed characteristics

We define a proper moduli stack for degree $p$ covers $f:Y \to \cX$ where $\cX$ is a twisted stable curve in the sense of [5] and [4], and $Y$ is a stable curve which via $f$ is a torsor over $\cX$ under a finite flat group scheme $\cG \to \cX$.

Galois covers of type (p,...,p), vanishing cycles formula, and the existence of torsor structures

In this article we prove a local Riemman-Hurwitz formula which compares the dimensions of the spaces of vanishing cycles in a finite Galois cover of type (p,p,...,p) between formal germs of p-adic curves and which generalises the formula proven by the first author in the case of Galois covers of degree p. We also investigate the problem of the existence of a torsor structure for a finite Galois cover of type (p,p,...,p) between p-adic schemes.

On the existence of a torsor structure for Galois covers

Let $R$ be a complete discrete valuation ring with residue characteristic $p>0$. In this note we give an example of a Galois cover $f:Y\to X$ between flat and normal formal $R$-schemes of finite type which is étale above the generic fibre of $X$ such that the special fibre of $Y$ is reduced and such that $f$ doesn't have the structure of a torsor under a finite and flat $R$ group scheme. In the example $R$ has equal characteristic $p$ and the Galois group of the cover is cyclic of order $p^2$. In the example the formal scheme $X$ is affine and can be choosen to be even smooth.

Fundamental group of Galois covers of degree 5 surfaces

Let $X$ be an algebraic surface of degree $5$, which is considered as a branch cover of $\mathbb{CP}^2$ with respect to a generic projection. The surface has a natural Galois cover with Galois group $S_5$. In this paper, we deal with the fundamental groups of Galois covers of degree $5$ surfaces that degenerate to nice plane arrangements; each of them is a union of five planes such that no three planes meet in a line.

On some Galois covers of the Suzuki and Ree curves

We determine the full automorphism group of two recently constructed families $\tilde{\mathcal{S}}_q$ and $\tilde{\mathcal{R}}_q$ of maximal curves over finite fields. These curves are covers of the Suzuki and Ree curves, and are analogous to the Giulietti-Korchmáros cover of the Hermitian curve. We also show that $\tilde{\mathcal{S}}_q$ is not Galois covered by the Hermitian curve maximal over $\mathbb{F}_{q^4}$, and $\tilde{\mathcal{R}}_q$ is not Galois covered by the Hermitian curve maximal over $\mathbb{F}_{q^6}$. Finally, we compute the genera of many Galois subcovers of $\tilde{\mathcal{…

Mackey-functor structure on the Brauer groups of a finite Galois covering of schemes

Past studies of the Brauer group of a scheme tells us the importance of the interrelationship among Brauer groups of its finite étale coverings. In this paper, we consider these groups simultaneously, and construct an integrated object "Brauer-Mackey functor". We realize this as a {\it cohomological Mackey functor} on the Galois category of finite étale coverings. For any finite étale covering of schemes, we can associate two homomorphisms for Brauer groups, namely the pull-back and the norm map. These homomorphisms make Brauer groups into a bivariant functor ($=$ Mackey functor) on the Galois…

On Spaces Associated with Invariant Divisors on Galois Covers of Riemann Surfaces and Their Applications

Let $f:X \to S$ be a Galois cover of Riemann surfaces, with Galois group $G$. In this paper we analyze the $G$-invariant divisors on $X$, and their associated spaces of meromorphic functions, differentials, and $q$-differentials. We generalize the trace formula for non-trivial elements of $G$ on $q$-differentials, as well as the Chevalley--Weil Formula. When $G$ is Abelian or when the genus of $S$ is 0 we prove additional results, and we also determine the non-special $G$-invariant divisors when both conditions are satisfied.

Fake Liftings of Galois Covers between Smooth Curves

In this paper we investigate the problem of lifting of Galois covers between algebraic curves from characteristic p>0 to characteristic 0. We prove a refined version of the main result of Garuti concerning this problem in [Ga]. We formulate a refined version of the Oort conjecture on liftings of cyclic Galois covers between curves. We introduce the notion of fake liftings of cyclic Galois covers between curves, their existence would contradict the Oort conjecture, and we study the geometry of their semi-stable models. Finally, we introduce and investigate on some examples the smoothening proce…

Classification of quadruple Galois canonical covers II

In this article we classify quadruple Galois canonical covers $ϕ$ of singular surfaces of minimal degree. This complements the work done in math.AG/0302045, so the main output of both papers is the complete classification of quadruple Galois canonical covers of surfaces of minimal degree, both singular and smooth. Our results show that the covers $X$ studied in this article are all regular surfaces and form a bounded family in terms of geometric genus $p_g$. In fact, the geometric genus of $X$ is bounded by 4. Together with the results of Horikawa and Konno for double and triple covers, a stri…

Inverse Galois problem for ordinary curves

We consider the inverse Galois problem over function fields of positive characteristic p, for example, the inverse Galois problem over the projective line. We describe a method to construct certain Galois covers of the projective line and other curves, which are ordinary in the sense that their Jacobian has maximal p-torsion. We do this by constructing Galois covers of ordinary semi-stable curves, and then deforming them into smooth Galois covers.

Fundamental group of Galois covers of degree $6$ surfaces

In this paper we consider the Galois covers of algebraic surfaces of degree 6, with all associated planar degenerations. We compute the fundamental groups of those Galois covers, using their degeneration. We show that for 8 types of degenerations the fundamental group of the Galois cover is non-trivial and for 20 types it is trivial. Moreover, we compute the Chern numbers of all the surfaces with this type of degeneration and prove that the signatures of all their Galois covers are negative. We formulate a conjecture regarding the structure of the fundamental groups of the Galois covers based …

A note on splitting numbers for Galois covers and $π_1$-equivalent Zariski $k$-plets

In this paper, we introduce \textit{splitting numbers} of subvarieties in a smooth variety for a Galois cover, and prove that the splitting numbers are invariant under certain homeomorphisms. By splitting numbers, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for two plane curves of type $(b,m)$ to be topologically equivalent as pairs of the complex projective plane and plane curves, where a plane curve of type $(b,m)$ is an arrangement of two smooth plane curves of degree $3$ and $b$ defined by I.~Shimada. Consequently, we prove that there are $π_1$-equivalent Zariski $k$-plets for any $k\geq2…

Galois branched covers with fixed ramification locus

We examine conditions under which there exists a non-constant family of Galois branched covers of curves over an algebraically closed field $k$ of fixed degree and fixed ramification locus, under a notion of equivalence derived from considering linear series on a fixed smooth proper source curve $X$. We show such a family exists precisely when the following conditions are satisfied: $\operatorname{char}(k)=p>0$, $X$ is isomorphic to $\mathbb{P}^1_k$, there is a unique ramification point, and the Galois group is $(\mathbb{Z}/p\mathbb{Z})^m$ for some integer $m>0$.

A note on embeddings of $S_4$ and $A_5$ into the Cremona group and versal Galois coverings

In this paper we introduce two versal $S_4$ coverings, and show that the two are birationaly distinct, i.e. there exists no $S_4$ equivariant birational map between them. We also introduce two versal $A_5$ coverings and show that the two are birationaly distinct also. As a corollary we obtain that there are at least three non-conjugate embbedings of $S_4$ (resp. $A_5$) into $Cr_2(\mathbb{C})$, the Cremona group.

The fields of definition of branched Galois covers of the projective line

In this paper I explore the structure of the fields of definition of Galois branched covers of the projective line over \bar Q. The first main result states that every mere cover model has a unique minimal field of definition where its automorphisms are defined, and goes on to describe special properties of this field. One corollary of this result is that for every G-Galois branched cover there is a field of definition which is Galois over its field of moduli, with Galois group a subgroup of Aut(G). The second main theorem states that the field resulting by adjoining to the field of moduli all…

Semi-direct Galois covers of the affine line

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. Let $G$ be $Z/\ell Z$ semi-direct product $Z/pZ$ where $\ell$ is a prime distinct from $p$. In this paper, we study Galois covers $ψ:Z \to P^1_k$ ramified only over $\infty$ with Galois group $G$. We find the minimal genus of a curve $Z$ that admits such a cover and show that it depends only on $\ell$, $p$, and the order $a$ of $\ell$ modulo $p$. We also prove that the number of curves $Z$ of this minimal genus which admit such a cover is at most $(p-1)/a$.

Shimura subvarieties in the Prym locus of ramified Galois coverings

We study Shimura (special) subvarieties in the moduli space $A_{p,D}$ of complex abelian varieties of dimension $p$ and polarization type $D$. These subvarieties arise from families of covers compatible with a fixed group action on the base curve such that the quotient of the base curve by the group is isomorphic to $\mathbb{P}^1$. We give a criterion for the image of these families under the Prym map to be a special subvariety and, using computer algebra, obtain 210 Shimura subvarieties contained in the Prym locus.

Decomposing Jacobians via Galois covers

Let $ϕ:\,X\rightarrow Y$ be a (possibly ramified) cover between two algebraic curves of positive genus. We develop tools that may identify the Prym variety of $ϕ$, up to isogeny, as the Jacobian of a quotient curve $C$ in the Galois closure of the composition of $ϕ$ with a well-chosen map $Y\rightarrow \mathbb{P}^1$. This method allows us to recover all previously obtained descriptions of a Prym variety in terms of a Jacobian that are known to us, besides yielding new applications. We also find algebraic equations for some of these new cases, including one where $X$ has genus $3$, $Y$ has genu…

Classification of quadruple Galois canonical covers I

In this article we classify quadruple Galois canonical covers of smooth surfaces of minimal degree. The classification shows that they are either non-simple cyclic covers or bi-double covers. If they are bi-double then they are all fiber products of double covers. We construct examples to show that all the possibilities in the classification do exist. There are implications of this classification that include the existence of families with unbounded geometric genus and families with unbounded irregularity, in sharp contrast with the case of double and triple canonical covers. Together with the…

Nori fundamental gerbe of essentially finite covers and Galois closure of towers of torsors

We prove the existence of a Galois closure for towers of torsors under finite group schemes over a proper, geometrically connected and geometrically reduced algebraic stack $X$ over a field $k$. This is done by describing the Nori fundamental gerbe of an essentially finite cover of $X$. A similar result is also obtained for the $S$-fundamental gerbe.

$p$-group Galois covers of curves in characteristic $p$

We study cohomologies of a curve with an action of a finite $p$-group over a field of characteristic $p$. Assuming the existence of a certain 'magical element' in the function field of the curve, we compute the equivariant structure of the module of holomorphic differentials and the de Rham cohomology, up to certain local terms. We show that a generic $p$-group cover has a 'magical element'. As an application we compute the de Rham cohomology of a curve with an action of a finite cyclic group of prime order.

Galois structure of Zariski cohomology for weakly ramified covers of curves

We compute equivariant Euler characteristics of locally free sheaves on curves, thereby generalizing several results of Kani and Nakajima. For instance, we extend Kani's computation of the Galois module structure of the space of global meromorphic differentials which are logarithmic along the ramification locus from the tamely ramified to the weakly ramified case.

Field of moduli and field of definition of Galois covers

In this paper we investigate the cohomological obstruction for the field of moduli of a $G$-cover to be a field of definition, in the case of local fields and covers with tame admissible reduction. This applies in particular to $p$-adic fields where $p$ does not divide the order of the group $G$. We give examples of $G$-covers with field of moduli $\QQ_p$ that cannot be defined over $\QQ_p$, for all primes $p>5$.

Classification of Fundamental Groups of Galois Covers of Surfaces of Small Degree Degenerating to Nice Plane Arrangements

Let $X$ be a surface of degree $n$, projected onto $\mathbb{CP}^2$. The surface has a natural Galois cover with Galois group $S_n.$ It is possible to determine the fundamental group of a Galois cover from that of the complement of the branch curve of $X.$ In this paper we survey the fundamental groups of Galois covers of all surfaces of small degree $n \leq 4$, that degenerate to a nice plane arrangement, namely a union of $n$ planes such that no three planes meet in a line. We include the already classical examples of the quadric, the Hirzebruch and the Veronese surfaces and the degree $4$ em…

The fundamental group of a Galois cover of CP^1 X T

Let T be the complex projective torus, and X the surface CP^1 X T. Let X_Gal be its Galois cover with respect to a generic projection to CP^2. In this paper we compute the fundamental group of X_Gal, using the degeneration and regeneration techniques, the Moishezon-Teicher braid monodromy algorithm and group calculations. We show that pi_1(X_Gal) = Z^10.

$q$-étale covers of cyclic $p$-gonal covers

In this paper we study the Galois group of the Galois cover of the composition of a $q$-cyclic étale cover and a cyclic $p$-gonal cover for any odd prime $p$. Furthermore, we give properties of isogenous decompositions of certain Prym and Jacobian varieties associated to intermediate subcovers given by subgroups.

Etale double covers of cyclic p-gonal covers

This paper computes the Galois group of the Galois cover of the composition of an étale double cover of a cyclic $p$-gonal cover for any prime $p$. Moreover a relation between some of its Prym varieties and the Jacobian of a subcover is given. In a sense this generalizes the trigonal construction.

The Coxeter quotient of the fundamental group of a Galois cover of T \times T

Let $X$ be the surface $\T\times\T$ where $\T$ is the complex torus. This paper is the third in a series, studying the fundamental group of the Galois cover of $X$ \wrt a generic projection onto $\C¶^2$. Van Kampen Theorem gives a presentation of the fundamental group of the complement of the branch curve, with 54 generators and more than 2000 relations. Here we introduce a certain natural quotient (obtained by identifying pairs of generators), prove it is a quotient of a Coxeter group related to the degeneration of $X$, and show that this quotient is virtually nilpotent.
