review text: The study of curves using their associated Jacobian varieties is a classical problem in algebraic geometry, which was introduced and studied by R. Torelli in the first decade of the XX century. Afterwords, in the '60s, \textit{P. A. Griffiths} [Ann. Math. (2) 90, 460--495, 496--541 (1969; Zbl 0215.08103)], generalized the problem considering period maps. He investigated whether for a simply connected surface of general type the period map is an embedding, i.e., if the infinitesimal Torelli holds. The subsequent literature on infinitesimal Torelli is vast. In particular, \N\textit{H. Flenner} [Math. Z. 193, 307--322 (1986; Zbl 0613.14010)] showed that infinitesimal Torelli holds for any smooth complete intersection in \(\mathbb{P}^n\) except of hypersurfaces of degree three in \(\mathbb{P}^3\) and intersections of two quadrics of even dimension. \N\textit{K. Konno} [Tôhoku Math. J. (2) 38, No. 1--2, 609--624 (1986; Zbl 0627.14009); Tôhoku Math. J. (2) 42, No. 3, 333--338 (1990; Zbl 0727.14003); Tôhoku Math. J. (2) 43, No. 4, 557--568 (1991; Zbl 0824.14006)] proved the inifinitesimal Torelli property in the case of certain complete intersections inside homogeneous varieties. More recently \N\textit{E. Fatighenti} et al. [J. Geom. Phys. 139, 1--16 (2019; Zbl 1441.14037)] solved the infinitesimal Torelli problem for 3-dimensional quasi-smooth \(\mathbb{Q}\)-Fano hypersurfaces with at worst terminal singularities. Thus the study of the infinitesimal Torelli problem is an active area of the algebraic geometry, which gives a lot of information about the Hodge structures and monodromy. This article deals with the infinitesimal Torelli problem for the surface of the bitangents to a quartic surface, and gives examples of surfaces of general type with standard geometrical assumptions, where the infinitesimal Torelli does not hold. Moreover, the authors analyzed also its canonical map and the dimension of its deformation space, giving a complete picture about the geometry of su…
