Special triple covers of algebraic surfaces (Q2695706)

Summary: We study special triple covers \(f:T\to S\) of algebraic surfaces, where the Tschirnhausen bundle \(\mathcal{E}=\left(f_*\mathcal{O}_T/\mathcal{O}_S\right)^\vee\) is a quotient of a split rank three vector bundle, and we provide several necessary and sufficient criteria for the existence. As an application, we give a complete classification of special triple planes, finding among others two nice families of K3 surfaces.
