Quotients of Fano surfaces (Q713970)

The paper under review deals with Fano surfaces \(S\) with a non-trivial automorphism group and their quotients. The main tools used in this study are the computation of invariants on quotients, intersection theory on normal surfaces and the properties of the smooth cubic threefold whose lines are parametrized by \(S\). All the possible cases are examined: cyclic groups of order 2,3,4,5,11,15 and non-cyclic groups \((\mathbb Z/2\mathbb Z)^2\), \(\mathbb D_2\), \((\mathbb Z/3\mathbb Z)^2\), \(\mathcal S_3\), \(\mathbb D_3\), \(\mathbb D_5\) and \(G\) (a group generated by two involution of type I whose product has order 3 and a type III(1) automorphism). For each group the quotient singularities and the main invariants are explicitly determined.
