Abstract: We prove that a recent construction of a numerical Godeaux surface due to P. Craighero and R. Gattazzo is simply connected, and show how to realize their construction as a double plane. By proving that the surface contains no (-2)-curves, we obtain that this is the first example of a simply connected surface with vanishing geometric genus and ample canonical class.

Review text

This paper was inspired by a paper of \textit{P. Craighero} and \textit{R. Gattazzo} [Rend. Semin. Mat. Univ. Padova 91, 185-198 (1994; Zbl 0830.14013)] in which a new construction of a numerical Godeaux surface \(V\) was given, as minimal resolution of a quintic surface in \(\mathbb{P}^3\). -- In the paper under review, the authors prove that: (1) \(V\) is birationally equivalent to a double plane branched along an irreducible degree ten curve having five [3,3] points and an ordinary quadruple point; (2) the canonical class of \(V\) is ample; (3) \(H_1(V,\mathbb{Z}) =0\). Unfortunately, the proof of the triviality of the fundamental group of \(V\), i.e. \(\pi_1(V) =\{1\}\), cannot be accepted, because in lemma 5.4 the authors incorrectly applied a theorem of \textit{J. H. Keum} and \textit{I. J. Chung} [Mich. Math. J. 44, No. 2, 293-298 (1997; Zbl 0924.32010)]. This theorem has an additional assumption which the authors overlooked. [See also the authors' erratum mentioned in the title; they claim: ``The absence of torsion in homology and the ampleness of the canonical class are however valid, so that the example is the first explicit example of a numerical Godeaux surface with these two properties.] Notice that simply connected numerical Godeaux surfaces were constructed by Rebecca Barlow, but they do not have ample canonical class.
