Review text

The authors construct arbitrarily large families of Galois conjugate Beauville surfaces with the property that they are pairwise non-homeomorphic. As usual, the construction starts with the action of some finite group \(G\) acting on two triangle curves \(C_1,C_2\) such that the canonical projections \(C_i \to C_i/G\) are Belyi functions (in dessins theory, such curves are often called ``quasiplatonic). If the diagonal action of \(G\) on \(C_1 \times C_2\) is fixed point free, the resulting compact complex surface \(B := (C_1 \times C_2)/G\) is a Beauville surface -- and has very interesting properties.NEWLINENEWLINEIn the present paper, the special case \(G = \text{PSL}(2,p)\) is considered and the curves are considered in such a way that \(C_1\) is uniquely determined by the action of \(G\) and its signature -- hence \(C_1\) is defined over the rationals -- whereas \(C_2\) admits a proper Galois action, inducing a proper Galois action on the Beauville surface. A striking result of Catanese implies that the Beauville surfaces of this Galois orbit have non-isomorphic fundamental groups, hence are not homeomorphic. The lexicographic smallest example arises for \(p=7\) and genera \(8\) abd \(49\) for the curves \(C_i\).NEWLINENEWLINEOn the way to this result, the authors give a very well readable introduction to quasiplatonic curves and all techniques necessary for the construction of Beauville surfaces, among others a new and relatively elementary proof of Catanese's rigidity theorem.
