The Absolute Galois Group Acts Faithfully on the Connected Components of the Moduli Spaces of Surfaces of General Type

چکیده
We show that the Galois group Gal(Q̄/Q) operates faithfully on the set of connected components of the moduli spaces of surfaces of general type, and also that for each element σ ∈ Gal(Q̄/Q) different from the identity and from complex conjugation, there is a surface of general type such that X and the Galois conjugate variety Xσ have nonisomorphic fundamental groups. The result was announced by the second author at the Alghero Conference ’Topology of algebraic varieties’ in september 2006. Before the present paper was actually written, we received a very interesting preprint by Robert Easton and Ravi Vakil ([E-V07]), where it is proven, with a completely different type of examples, that the Galois group Gal(Q̄/Q) operates faithfully on the set of irreducible components of the moduli spaces of surfaces of general type. We also give other simpler examples of surfaces with nonisomorphic fundamental groups which are Galois conjugate, hence have isomorphic algebraic fundamental groups.

Absolute Galois Acts Faithfully on the Components of the Moduli Space of Surfaces: A Belyi-Type Theorem in Higher Dimension
Given an object over Q, there is often no reason for invariants of the corresponding holomorphic object to be preserved by the absolute Galois group Gal(Q/Q), and in general this is not true, although it is sometimes surprising to observe in practice. The case of covers of the projective line branched only over the points 0, 1, and ∞, through Belyi’s theorem, leads to Grothendieck’s dessins d’e...

Teichmüller curves are geodesic discs in Teichmüller space that project to algebraic curves C in the moduli space Mg. Some Teichmüller curves can be considered as components of Hurwitz spaces. We show that the absolute Galois group GQ acts faithfully on the set of these embedded curves. We also compare the action of GQ on π1(C) with the one on π1(Mg) and obtain a relation in the Grothendieck-Te...

متن کاملBeauville Surfaces, Moduli Spaces and Finite Groups
In this paper we give the asymptotic growth of the number of connected components of the moduli space of surfaces of general type corresponding to certain families of Beauville surfaces with group either PSL(2, p), or an alternating group, or a symmetric group or an abelian group. We moreover extend these results to regular surfaces isogenous to a higher product of curves.

We study that subset of the moduli space M g of stable genus g, g > 1, Riemann surfaces which consists of such stable Riemann surfaces on which a given nite group F acts. We show rst that this subset is compact. It turns out that, for general nite groups F, the above subset is not connected. We show, however, that for Z 2 actions this subset is connected. Finally, we show that even in the modul...
