Minimal cubic surfaces over finite fields

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let X be a minimal cubic surface over a finite field mathbbFq. The image Gamma of the Galois group operatornameGal(overlinemathbbFq/mathbbFq) in the group operatornameAut(operatornamePic(overlineX)) is a cyclic subgroup of the Weyl group W(E6). There are 25 conjugacy classes of cyclic subgroups in W(E6), and 5 of them correspond to minimal cubic surfaces. It is natural to ask which conjugacy classes come from minimal cubic surfaces over a given finite field. In this paper we give a partial answer to this question and present many explicit examples.
