Deformations of I-surfaces with elliptic singularities

Robert Friedman, Phillip Griffiths

Abstract

An I-surface $S$ is an algebraic surface of general type with $K_S^2 = 1$ and $p_g(S) = 2$. Recent research has centered on trying to give an explicit description of the KSBA compactification of the moduli space of these surfaces. The possible normal Gorenstein examples have been enumerated by work of Franciosi-Pardini-Rollenske. The goal of this paper is to give a more precise description of such surfaces in case their singularities are simple elliptic and/or cusp singularities, and to work out their deformation theory. In particular, under some mild general position assumptions, we show that deformations of the surfaces in question are versal for deformations of the singular points, with two exceptions where the discrepancy is analyzed in detail.

Key Result

Theorem 2

Let $Y$ be a normal Gorenstein surface with at worst rational double point, simple elliptic and cusp singularities such that $\omega_Y$ is ample, $\omega_Y^2=1$, and $\dim H^0(Y; \omega_Y) = 2$. Then $Y$ is isomorphic to a weighted hypersurface of degree $10$ contained in the smooth locus of the wei
