Abstract:
Godeaux surfaces over C are constructed in terms of μ5-equivariant
quintic hypersurfaces in P3, giving a quotient surface X having Z/5
in PicX. The Tate-Oort group scheme TOp answers the same kind
of questions in characteristic p and in mixed characteristic at p. (I
lectured on this at HSE in November 2017.) My lecture will give an
overview of theoretical points in the construction of TOp, its Cartier
dual (TOp)∨, its representation theory and many types of applications.
