What are the finite étale coverings of a quasi-hyperelliptic surface?
Let $X$ be a quasi-hyperelliptic surface in characteristic 3 where the canonical bundle $K_X$ is trivial.
Question: Is there a finite étale covering $Y \rightarrow X$ such that
$Y$ is an abelian ...

Map associated to linear system onto curve is morphism
In Mumford's first paper on Surfaces in char $p$ [1], part 2 Step (II), he wants to show that, given an indecomposable curve of canonical type $D$ on a smooth projective surface $F$ with $p_g(F)=0, ...

Log resolutions on surfaces and 3-folds in characteristic p
If $X$ is a normal projective variety and $D$ a divisor in it, we say that $\pi\colon (\widetilde X,\widetilde D)\rightarrow (X,D)$ is a log resolution if $\widetilde X$ is a resolution of $X$, the ...

Del pezzo surfaces in positive characteristic
For me a Del Pezzo surface $X$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$ is an algebraic surface where the anticanonical bundle $\omega^{-1}_X$ or $-K_X$ is ample. (I prefer the second ...

Liftability of Enriques Surfaces (from char. p to zero)
Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p > 0$, $X$ a variety over $k$.
We say $X$ lifts to characteristic zero, if there exists a local ring $R$ containing $\mathbb Z$ with ...
