NumericalGodeaux -- Construction of numerical Godeaux surfaces

Description

This package contains the implementation of our construction method for numerical Godeaux surfaces from An 8-dimensional family of simply connected Godeaux surfaces and Marked Godeaux surfaces with special bicanonical fibers. The articles focus on numerical Godeaux surfaces whose bicanonical systems have 4 distinct base points. The main construction has two big steps. The first step consists of choosing a line

l⊂Q ⊂ℙ11.

The variety Q ⊂ℙ11 is a complete intersection of four quadrics and plays, together with the corresponding Fano variety of lines F(Q) a crucial part in our construction.

The second step of our construction consists of solving a linear system of equations which depends on the line l⊂Q from the first step. For a general line l one has a 3 of solutions. A general line together with a general solution specify a simply connected Godeaux surface. We call this the dominant component. Special lines lead to different components. We describe the family of lines in Q leading to numerical Godeaux surfaces with torsion group ℤ/3 and ℤ/5. Another highlight is the parametrization of the hyperelliptic locus in Q which leads to torsion-free numerical Godeaux surfaces with hyperelliptic bicanonical fibers.

An important result of the package not covered by the preprints above, is the construction of a 8-dimensional locally complete unirational family of ℤ/2-Godeaux surfaces.

Random construction over finite fields and the rational numbers

Setup for the construction

  • setupGodeaux -- summarize the single steps for the general set-up of the construction
We compute a model of the variety of lines F(Q) in 3 ×ℙ3 ×ℙ3 ×ℙ3. The additional grading is coming from the G = (Gm)3-action, and a quotient of this action is computed in two steps. First we collapse one Gm-action and obtain a hypersurface H4,6 of bidegree (4,6) in a 3 ×ℙ5.The final result is a model of the quotient F(Q)//G realized as a hypersurface Y in a toric variety. The hypersurface H4,6 contains some codimension 1 rational subvariety Z and given a randomly chosen point in Z, functions are added which recover a line in the corresponding G-orbit of lines in F(Q).

Models of F(Q) and its quotients

  • modelInP3xP3xP3xP3 -- compute the model of the Fano variety F(Q) in P3xP3xP3xP3
  • collapsingOneCStar -- compute the hypersurface of bidegree (4,6) in P3xP5
  • furtherCollapsing -- computes the 5-dimensional anti-canonical hypersurface in the cox ring of a toric variety

Precomputed models

Recovering lines

We have precomputed parametrizations leading to the hyperelliptic locus in Q and special lines.

Precomputed Parametrization of Special Points and Lines

Steps of the construction

  • randomPoint -- compute a rational point in a variety
  • randomLine -- compute a line through a given point which is completely contained in the Pfaffian variety
  • randomSection -- choose a point in the solution space defined by the linear relations
  • standardResolution -- compute a standard resolution of an S-module R obtained from the given input
