Beauville surfaces and finite groups (Q661875)

The paper under review is yet another contribution to the study of the so called Beauville surfaces, which roughly speaking are quotients of the product of two curves by the action of a finite group acting holomorphically. From the abstract: ``\dots we show that Beauville surfaces of unmixed type can be obtained from the groups \(L_2(q)\) and \(SL_2(q)\) for all prime powers \(q>5\), and the Suzuki groups \(Sz(2^e)\) and the Ree groups \(R(2^e)\) for all odd \(e\geq 3\). We also show that \(L_2(q)\) and \(SL_2(q)\) admit strong real Beauville structures, yielding real Beauville surfaces, for all \(q>5\).''
