Abstract

A bidouble cover is a flat $G:=\left(\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}\right)^2$-Galois cover $X \rightarrow Y$. In this situation there exist three intermediate quotients $Y_1,Y_2$ and $Y_3$ which correspond to the three subgroups $\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z} \leq G$. In this paper we consider the following situation: $Y$ will be a rational surface and $Y_i$ will be either a surface with $p_g=0$ or a K3 surface. These assumptions will enable us to have a strong control on the weight 2 Hodge structure of the covering surface $X$. In particular, we classify all covers with these properties if $Y$ is minimal, obtaining surfaces $X$ with $p_g(X)=1,2,3$. Moreover, we will discuss the Infinitesimal Torelli Property, the Chow groups and Chow motive, and the Tate and Mumford-Tate conjectures for $X$. We also introduce another construction, called iterated bidouble cover, which allows us to obtain surfaces with higher value of $p_g$ for which we still have a strong control on the weight 2 Hodge structure.

G3-Criteria and Applications

The G3-property of a subvariety was introduced by Hironaka-Matsumura, and plays an important role for deducing connectedness and extension results. Unfortunately, it's a rather elusive notion, which is not always easy to establish. Most of the existing work is concentrated on subvarieties of homogeneous varieties. The first goal of this article is to show that mobility assumptions on the subvariety, considered in works of Badescu, Chow, Debarre, Voisin, yield a certain partial positivity property, slightly stronger than G3, previously introduced by the author. Second, we apply the result to prove that, in numerous situations, the splitting of the normal bundle of a smooth two-codimensional subvariety implies that it is a complete intersection.

Moduli Stacks of $G$-Curves in Homotopy Theory at Height $p-1$

Let $p$ be odd and $G' = \mathbb{Z}/p \rtimes \mathbb{Z}/(p-1)^2$ the maximal finite subgroup of the Morava stabilizer group at height $p-1$. Inverse Galois theory produces from $G'$ alone a curve $X$, the unique curve of minimal genus with $\operatorname{Aut}(X) \simeq G'$; its ramification, its field of definition and its equation are consequences of the group, not choices. We prove a $G'$-equivariant equivalence between the deformations of $X$ and Lubin--Tate space, so that the Lubin--Tate action of $G'$ is the action of $\operatorname{Aut}(X)$ on deformations of the curve. The proof is a coordinate-free Kodaira--Spencer argument reducing to a single character count. The action becomes explicit: $G'$ acts through $\mathbb{F}_p \rtimes \mathbb{F}_p^\times$ shifting and scaling $p+1$ points on $\mathbb{P}^1$. From this we compute $H^*(G', π_* E_{p-1})$ and its Tate cohomology. One identity, $π^{p-1} = -p$, runs through every section.
