Automorphisms and quotients of quaternionic fake quadrics
Abstract
A fake quadric is a smooth minimal surface of general type with the same invariants as the quadric in P^3, i.e. K^2=2c_2=8 and q=p_g=0. We study here quaternionic fake quadrics i.e. fake quadrics constructed arithmetically by using some quaternion algebras over real number fields. We provide examples of quaternionic fake quadrics X with a non-trivial automorphism group and compute the invariants of the minimal desingularisation of the quotient of X by this group. In that way we obtain minimal surfaces of general type Z with q=p_g=0 and K^2=4,2 which contain the maximal number of disjoint nodal curves. We then prove that if a surface of general type has the same invariant as Z and same number of nodal curves, we can construct geometrically a surface of general type with K^2=2c_2=8.
