Jun 16 at 21:15 comment added Francesco Polizzi This would be a nice starting point.
Jun 16 at 20:26 comment added Noam D. Elkies If you "just" want to find the slice of the Néron-Severi lattice of X_0 that's orthogonal to the hyperplane section H, that must be easier to do than constructing an explicit algebraic isomorphism. It's also surprisingly routine to check whether two positive-definite lattices of rank 21 are isomorphic, and if so then to find an isomorphism. Would it be enough to find a divisor D class on X_0 such that D.D=4 and (NS(X_0),D) is isomorphic with (NS(Y),H) ?
Jun 16 at 20:11 comment added Francesco Polizzi @NoamD.Elkies: I have a certain $21$-dimensional lattice that (I think) is associated with $X_0$, and I would like to interpret it as a lattice associated with $Y$. Apart from this, I am also genuinely curious about such an isomorphism.
Jun 16 at 19:46 comment added Noam D. Elkies That's a nice question. Do you ask out of curiosity or do you have some application for such a map and an action of an 11-cycle (or of the whole group PSL(2,F_11)) on Y? I think I know how to find one, starting from an elliptic fibration of Y followed by a series of "2-neighbor steps" to get to the fibration X_0; but it would take a while and would be rather complicated -- perhaps unavoidably so -- written out as homog.polynomials t0,t1,x,y in the x_i. One could then recover an 11-cycle acting on Y by composing this map with an easy 11-cycle on X_0 with the inverse map taking X_0 back to Y.

Jun 15 at 18:33 comment added Francesco Polizzi I corrected the typo, thanks for pointing it out. The action of $\operatorname{PSL}(2, \, \mathbb{F}_{11})$ on $X_0$ is defined over a quadratic extension of $\mathbb{F}_{11}$, indeed.
Jun 15 at 18:28 comment added Noam D. Elkies The quartic Fermat surface is not $x_0^2+x_1^2+x_2^2+x_3^2 = 0$ (a quadric, which is a rational surface in odd characteristic) but $x_0^4+x_1^4+x_2^4+x_3^4 = 0$. I'm not sure that there must be an isomorphism defined over any $k$ of characteristic $11$, but it should be enough to work over a quadratic extension of ${\bf Z} / 11 {\bf Z}$.
