A fibration <img align="absmiddle" border="0" src="https://www.encyclopediaofmath.org/legacyimages/e/e035/e035550/e03555022.png" /> can be regarded as an elliptic curve over the function field <img align="absmiddle" border="0" src="https://www.encyclopediaofmath.org/legacyimages/e/e035/e035550/e03555023.png" />.

A fibration $  \pi : X \rightarrow B $
 +
can be regarded as an elliptic curve over the function field $  k ( B) $.  
 +
This curve, generally speaking, does not have the structure of an Abelian variety over $  k ( B) $.  
 +
For this to happen it is necessary that it has a rational point over $  k ( B) $(
 +
and then $  X $
 +
is birationally isomorphic to the surface defined in $  B \times A  ^ {2} $
 +
by the Weierstrass equation $  y  ^ {2} = x  ^ {3} - g _ {2} x - g _ {3} $,  
 +
where $  g _ {2} , g _ {3} \in k ( B) $).  
 +
The specification of a rational point is equivalent to that of a section $  e : B \rightarrow X $
 +
such that $  \pi e = \mathop{\rm id} $;  
 +
a necessary condition for the existence of a section is the absence of multiple fibres. Fibrations without multiple fibres are called reduced.

Reduced elliptic fibrations may be described as follows. To every such fibration <img align="absmiddle" border="0" src="https://www.encyclopediaofmath.org/legacyimages/e/e035/e035550/e03555032.png" /> corresponds a unique fibration <img align="absmiddle" border="0" src="https://www.encyclopediaofmath.org/legacyimages/e/e035/e035550/e03555033.png" /> that is a [[Group object|group object]] and is such that <img align="absmiddle" border="0" src="https://www.encyclopediaofmath.org/legacyimages/e/e035/e035550/e03555034.png" /> is a [[Principal homogeneous space|principal homogeneous space]] over <img align="absmiddle" border="0" src="https://www.encyclopediaofmath.org/legacyimages/e/e035/e035550/e03555035.png" />; <img align="absmiddle" border="0" src="https://www.encyclopediaofmath.org/legacyimages/e/e035/e035550/e03555036.png" /> is the Jacobi fibration for <img align="absmiddle" border="0" src="https://www.encyclopediaofmath.org/legacyimages/e/e035/e035550/e03555037.png" />; it characterizes the existence of a section. For a given Jacobi fibration <img align="absmiddle" border="0" src="https://www.encyclopediaofmath.org/legacyimages/e/e035/e035550/e03555038.png" />, the set <img align="absmiddle" border="0" src="https://www.encyclopediaofmath.org/legacyimages/e/e035/e035550/e03555039.png" /> of isomorphism classes of fibrations <img align="absmiddle" border="0" src="https://www.encyclopediaofmath.org/legacyimages/e/e035/e035550/e03555040.png" /> for which <img align="absmiddle" border="0" src="https://www.encyclopediaofmath.org/legacyimages/e/e035/e035550/e03555041.png" /> has a cohomology description analogous to that of invertible sheaves (cf.

Here the role of <img align="absmiddle" border="0" src="https://www.encyclopediaofmath.org/legacyimages/e/e035/e035550/e03555042.png" /> is played by the sheaf <img align="absmiddle" border="0" src="https://www.encyclopediaofmath.org/legacyimages/e/e035/e035550/e03555043.png" /> of local sections <img align="absmiddle" border="0" src="https://www.encyclopediaofmath.org/legacyimages/e/e035/e035550/e03555044.png" />.

Reduced elliptic fibrations may be described as follows. To every such fibration $  \pi : X \rightarrow B $

that is a [[Group object|group object]] and is such that $  X / B $
 +
is a [[Principal homogeneous space|principal homogeneous space]] over $  {\mathcal J} _ {B} ( X) / B $;  
 +
$  {\mathcal J} _ {B} ( X) / B $
 +
is the Jacobi fibration for $  X / B $;  
 +
it characterizes the existence of a section. For a given Jacobi fibration $  {\mathcal J} / B $,

the set $  I ( {\mathcal J} / B ) $
 +
of isomorphism classes of fibrations $  X / B $
 +
for which $  {\mathcal J} _ {B} ( X) \cong J $

has a cohomology description analogous to that of invertible sheaves (cf. [[Invertible sheaf|Invertible sheaf]]). Here the role of $  {\mathcal O} _ {B}  ^ {*} $

An algebraic or analytic complete non-singular surface $ X $ having a fibration of elliptic curves (cf. Elliptic curve), that is, a morphism $ \pi : X \rightarrow B $ onto a non-singular curve $ B $ whose generic fibre is a non-singular elliptic curve. Every elliptic surface is birationally (bimeromorphically) equivalent over $ B $ to a unique minimal model, which is characterized by the fact that the fibre of $ \pi $ does not contain exceptional curves of arithmetic genus 1. In what follows an elliptic surface is assumed to be minimal. Minimal elliptic surfaces have a more complicated structure than ruled surfaces. They can have singular fibres $ X _ {t} = \pi ^ {-} 1 ( t) $( that is, fibres that are not non-singular elliptic curves). There is a classification

of the singular fibres of elliptic surfaces. A singular fibre $ X _ {t} = \sum n _ {i} E _ {i} $ is called multiple if the greatest common divisor of the $ n _ {i} $ is $ m \geq 2 $, and then $ X _ {t} = m F $ and $ m $ is called the multiplicity of the fibre $ X _ {t} $.

On a minimal elliptic surface the canonical class $ K _ {X} $ contains a divisor that is a rational combination of fibres, in particular, $ ( K _ {X} ^ {2} ) = 0 $. Moreover, the following formula holds for the canonical class (see [1], ):

$$ K _ {X} = \pi ^ {*} ( K _ {B} - d ) + \sum ( m _ {i} - 1 ) F _ {i} , $$

where $ X _ {t _ {i} } = m _ {i} F _ {i} $ are all the multiple fibres of $ \pi $ and $ d $ is a divisor on $ B $ of degree $ - \chi ( {\mathcal O} _ {X} ) $. The topological Euler characteristic satisfies the formula

$$ e ( X) = \sum e ( X _ {t _ {i} } ) . $$

The classification of elliptic fibrations.

A fibration $ \pi : X \rightarrow B $ can be regarded as an elliptic curve over the function field $ k ( B) $. This curve, generally speaking, does not have the structure of an Abelian variety over $ k ( B) $. For this to happen it is necessary that it has a rational point over $ k ( B) $( and then $ X $ is birationally isomorphic to the surface defined in $ B \times A ^ {2} $ by the Weierstrass equation $ y ^ {2} = x ^ {3} - g _ {2} x - g _ {3} $, where $ g _ {2} , g _ {3} \in k ( B) $). The specification of a rational point is equivalent to that of a section $ e : B \rightarrow X $ such that $ \pi e = \mathop{\rm id} $; a necessary condition for the existence of a section is the absence of multiple fibres. Fibrations without multiple fibres are called reduced. Every fibration, after a suitable ramified covering of the base, has a section (that is, is reduced) . Every fibration can also be made reduced by a sequence of transformations inverse to logarithmic ones

— local surgery of the fibration in neighbourhoods of fibres.

Reduced elliptic fibrations may be described as follows. To every such fibration $ \pi : X \rightarrow B $ corresponds a unique fibration $ {\mathcal J} _ {B} ( X) \rightarrow B $ that is a group object and is such that $ X / B $ is a principal homogeneous space over $ {\mathcal J} _ {B} ( X) / B $; $ {\mathcal J} _ {B} ( X) / B $ is the Jacobi fibration for $ X / B $; it characterizes the existence of a section. For a given Jacobi fibration $ {\mathcal J} / B $, the set $ I ( {\mathcal J} / B ) $ of isomorphism classes of fibrations $ X / B $ for which $ {\mathcal J} _ {B} ( X) \cong J $ has a cohomology description analogous to that of invertible sheaves (cf. Invertible sheaf). Here the role of $ {\mathcal O} _ {B} ^ {*} $ is played by the sheaf $ {\mathcal H} ^ {0} ( {\mathcal J} / B ) $ of local sections $ \tau : {\mathcal J} \rightarrow B $. There is a natural one-to-one correspondence

$$ \theta : I ( {\mathcal J} / B ) \rightarrow H ^ {1} ( B , {\mathcal H} ^ {0} ( {\mathcal J} / B ) ) , $$

under which the Jacobi fibration corresponds to the zero element. By means of $ \theta $ one can distinguish between algebraic and non-algebraic fibrations: For a reduced fibration $ \pi : X \rightarrow B $ the surface $ X $ is algebraic if and only if the element corresponding to it in $ H ^ {1} ( B , {\mathcal H} ^ {0} ( {\mathcal J} / B )) $ is of finite order. The analogy with invertible sheaves can be pursued further. The analogue of the exact sequence

$$ 0 \rightarrow \mathbf Z \rightarrow {\mathcal O} _ {B} \mathop \rightarrow \limits ^ \mathop {\rm exp} \ {\mathcal O} _ {B} ^ {*} \rightarrow 1 $$

is the exact sequence

$$ 0 \rightarrow R ^ {1} \tau _ {0} \mathbf Z \rightarrow {\mathcal H} ^ {0} ( T ( {\mathcal J} ) / B ) \rightarrow {\mathcal H} ^ {0} ( {\mathcal J} / B ) \rightarrow 0 , $$

where $ {\mathcal H} ^ {0} ( T ( {\mathcal J} ) / B ) $ is the sheaf of local sections of the bundle $ T ( {\mathcal J} )/ B $ and $ T ( {\mathcal J} ) $ is the tangent space to the fibre $ \tau ^ {-} 1 ( b) $ at $ e ( b) $. The boundary homomorphism

$$ \delta : H ^ {1} ( B , {\mathcal H} ^ {0} ( {\mathcal J} / B ) ) \rightarrow H ^ {2} ( B , R ^ {1} \tau _ {*} \mathbf Z ) $$

allows one to recognize when one fibration is a deformation of another. For that it is necessary and sufficient that the elements corresponding to these fibrations have one and the same image under $ \delta $( see ).

The classification of algebraic elliptic surfaces.

Suppose that $ \mathop{\rm char} k = 0 $. For an elliptic surface $ X $ the canonical dimension $ k ( X) \leq 1 $, that is, it is equal to $ - 1 $, 0 or $ 1 $. If $ k ( X) = 1 $, $ X $ is said to be an elliptic surface of general type. These are characterized by the conditions $ 12 K _ {X} \neq 0 $ and $ | 12 K _ {X} | \neq \emptyset $. Elliptic surfaces with $ p _ {g} \geq 2 $ or, more generally, with $ P _ {m} \geq 2 $ for some $ m $, are of general type.

Elliptic surfaces with $ k ( X) = 0 $ are characterized by the condition $ 12 K _ {X} = 0 $. In this case $ \chi ( {\mathcal O} _ {X} ) $ can take the three values 2, 1 or $ 0 $. If $ \chi ( {\mathcal O} _ {X} )= 2 $, then $ X $ is an elliptic $ K 3 $- surface ( $ q = 0 $, $ K _ {X} = 0 $). In this case $ B $ is isomorphic to the projective line $ P ^ {1} $, the fibration has no multiple fibres and $ X $ has the invariants $ p _ {g} = 1 $, $ q = 0 $, $ b _ {2} = 22 $. If $ \chi ( {\mathcal O} _ {X} ) = 1 $, then $ X $ is an Enriques surface, that is, a surface with $ p _ {g} = q = 0 $, $ 2 K _ {X} = 0 $. (Every Enriques surface is elliptic.) In this case $ B \simeq P ^ {1} $, the fibration has two fibres of multiplicity 2, and $ X $ has the invariants $ p _ {g} = q = 0 $, $ b _ {2} = 10 $. If $ \chi ( {\mathcal O} _ {X} ) = 0 $, then two cases are possible. Either $ X $ is an Abelian variety (and then $ p _ {g} = 1 $, $ q = 2 $, $ b _ {2} = 6 $); or $ X $ is a hyper-elliptic surface, that is, a surface that has a finite unramified covering — the product of two elliptic curves. In that case $ p _ {g} = 0 $, $ b _ {1} = 2 $, $ b _ {2} = 2 $, $ B = P ^ {1} $, and $ \pi $ has 3 or 4 multiple fibres with four possibilities for their multiplicity: $ ( 3 , 3 , 3 ) $, $ ( 2 , 4 , 4 ) $, $ ( 2 , 3 , 6 ) $, and $ ( 2 , 2 , 2 , 2 ) $, and $ 3 K _ {X} = 0 $, $ 4 K _ {X} = 0 $, $ 6 K _ {X} = 0 $, and $ 2 K _ {X} = 0 $, respectively.

An elliptic surface with $ k ( X) = - 1 $ is ruled (cf. Ruled surface). It is characterized by the condition $ | 12 K _ {X} | = \emptyset $. Here two cases are possible: 1) $ X $ is a surface with $ p _ {g} = q = 0 $, $ b _ {2} = 10 $, and $ \pi $ has no multiple fibres or one; moreover, a surface without multiple fibres can be obtained as follows: one has to take a rational mapping $ P ^ {2} \rightarrow P ^ {1} $ determined by two cubics $ F _ {0} $ and $ F _ {1} $ and blow up their 9 points of intersection; or 2) $ X $ is a surface with $ p _ {g} = 0 $, $ q = 1 $, $ b _ {2} = 2 $, and the multiplicities $ m _ {i} $ are subject to the inequality

$$ \sum \left ( 1 - \frac{1}{m _ {i} } \right ) < 2 . $$

The formula for the canonical class and the classification of elliptic surfaces can also be generalized to the case of a field of finite characteristic [5], [6].

The classification of non-algebraic elliptic surfaces.

The classification of non-algebraic elliptic surfaces. For non-algebraic surfaces the algebraic dimension $ a ( X) = \mathop{\rm tr} \mathop{\rm deg} M ( X) $ is 1 or 0. If $ a ( X) = 0 $, then $ X $ is non-elliptic. All surfaces with $ a ( X) = 1 $ are elliptic. Here the structure of $ \pi : X \rightarrow B $ is determined almost canonically: Every such fibration $ \pi $ is necessarily elliptic. The classification by the canonical dimension is precisely the same as for algebraic elliptic surfaces: $ k ( X) = - 1 $ $ \iff $ $ | 12 K _ {X} | = \emptyset $; $ k ( X) = 0 $ $ \iff $ $ 12K _ {X} = 0 $; and $ k ( X) = 1 $( $ X $ is of basic type) $ \iff $ $ | 12 K _ {X} | = \emptyset $, $ 12 K _ {X} \neq 0 $.

Non-algebraic elliptic surfaces with $ k ( X) = 0 $ belong to one of the following classes: 1) the $ K 3 $- surfaces ( $ \chi ( {\mathcal O} _ {X} )= 2 $, $ b _ {1} = 0 $, $ b _ {2} = 22 $, $ X $ is simply connected); 2) the complex tori ( $ K _ {X} = 0 $, $ \chi ( {\mathcal O} _ {X} ) = 0 $, $ b _ {1} = 4 $, $ b _ {2} = 6 $); 3) the Kodaira surfaces ( $ K _ {X} = 0 $, $ \chi ( {\mathcal O} _ {X} ) = 0 $, $ b _ {1} = 3 $, $ b _ {2} = 4 $). Primary Kodaira surfaces are holomorphically locally trivial fibrations over an elliptic curve with an elliptic curve as typical fibre, and from the point of view of differentiability, bundles over a $ 3 $- dimensional torus with a circle as fibre; or 4) the surfaces with $ \chi ( {\mathcal O} _ {X} ) = 0 $, $ p _ {g} = 0 $, $ b _ {1} = 1 $, $ b _ {2} = 0 $. For them $ m K _ {X} = 0 $ with $ m = 2 , 3 , 4 $, (analogous to hyper-elliptic surfaces). They have Kodaira surfaces as finite unramified coverings. In the cases 2), 3) and 4) $ \mathbf C ^ {2} $ is the universal covering of $ X $.

Non-algebraic elliptic surfaces with $ k ( X) = - 1 $ are Hopf surfaces, that is, their universal covering is $ \mathbf C ^ {2} \setminus 0 $. For them $ \chi ( {\mathcal O} _ {X} ) = 0 $, $ b _ {1} = 1 $, $ b _ {2} = 0 $. The proper Hopf surfaces are $ ( \mathbf C ^ {2} \setminus 0 ) / T $, where $ T ( z _ {1} , z _ {2} ) = ( \alpha _ {1} z _ {1} , \alpha _ {2} z _ {2} ) $ are real generators of $ T $. They are homeomorphic to $ S ^ {1} \times S ^ {2} $ and are characterized by this property. Arbitrary elliptic Hopf surfaces are quotients of proper Hopf surfaces .

Comments

A secondary Kodaira surface is a surface other than a primary one, admitting a primary Kodaira surface as an unramified covering. They are elliptic fibrations over a rational curve. Their first Betti number is 1.

The canonical dimension $ k ( X) $ mentioned at the start of the section on classification of algebraic elliptic surfaces is the Kodaira dimension $ \mathop{\rm Kod} ( X) $( with $ k ( X) = - 1 $ if $ \mathop{\rm Kod} ( X) = - \infty $).
