Maximal Mordell-Weil lattices of fibred surfaces with \(p_g=q=0\) (Q2461118)

The author studies a fibration \(X \to \mathbb{P}^1\) on a surface with \(p_g = q = 0\). Denote by \(g\) the genus of a general fibre \(F\) and \(c\) the Clifford index of \(F\). When \(c \leq 2\), the Mordell-Weil lattices have been studied by Saito-Sakakibara, Saito-Nguyen Khac and Kitagawa-Konno and the cases with maximal Mordell-Weil lattices completely classified. In the present paper, the author extends the result to the case \(c \geq 3\). The author also describes the construction of such fibration when the slope attains the minimum.
