On Coble surfaces and their automorphisms
Abstract
Given a complex Coble surface $X$ with irreducible boundary $C$, we consider a specific automorphism $T : X \to X$, initially defined by Pompilj. We show that there are two families of Coble surfaces satisfying the condition $T|_C = \mathbb{1}_C$. Every Coble surface $X$ in the first family in nodal, and moreover the stronger equality $T = \mathbb{1}_X$ holds. Meanwhile, the second family is ''small'', since it has codimension $3$ in the moduli space of Coble surfaces.
