Abstract: We construct a simply connected minimal complex surface of general type with $p_g=0$ and $K^2=2$ which has an involution such that the minimal resolution of the quotient by the involution is a simply connected minimal complex surface of general type with $p_g=0$ and $K^2=1$. In order to construct the example, we combine a double covering and $mathbbQ$-Gorenstein deformation. Especially, we develop a method for proving unobstructedness for deformations of a singular surface by generalizing a result of Burns and Wahl which characterizes the space of first order deformations of a singular surface with only rational double points. We describe the stable model in the sense of Koll'ar and Shepherd-Barron of the singular surfaces used for constructing the example. We count the dimension of the invariant part of the deformation space of the example under the induced $mathbbZ/2mathbbZ$-action.

Review text

Recently there has been growing interest in the description of involutions of minimal surfaces of general type with geometric genus 0, following results of \textit{A. Calabri} et al. [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 359, No. 4, 1605--1632 (2007; Zbl 1124.14036)]. We recall that a numerical Campedelli (resp. numerical Godeaux) surface is a minimal surface of general type with geometric genus 0 and canonical degree 2 (resp. 1). The authors show the existence of a simply connected numerical Campedelli surface with an involution whose quotient is birational to a simply connected numerical Godeaux surface. It was indeed already known that one could have an involution on a numerical Campedelli surface with \(4\) isolated fixed points, thus yielding a numerical Godeaux surface at the quotient as in [\textit{D. Frapporti}, Collect. Math. 64, No. 3, 293--311 (2013; Zbl 1303.14045)]. Still, the simple connectedness here is an important property, since even the existence of simply connected numerical Godeaux and Campedelli surfaces has been a challenging problem for a long time, and we are still far from classifying all of them. The strategy combines double covering and \(\mathbb{Q}\)-Gorenstein smoothing techniques, and both surfaces are obtained by smoothing a (different) singular rational elliptic surface. To show the existence of the smoothing, the authors need to show that there is no local-to-global obstruction. This involves a new technique which generalizes a result of \textit{D. M. Burns jun.} and \textit{J. M. Wahl} [Invent. Math. 26, 67--88 (1974; Zbl 0288.14010)] describing the space of first-order deformations of a singular complex surface with only rational double points.
