Abstract:
We construct a surface of general type with canonical map of degree $12$ which factors as a triple cover and a bidouble cover of $\mathbb {P}^2$. We also show the existence of a smooth surface with $q=0,$ $\chi =13$ and $K^2=9\chi$ such that its canonical map is either of degree $3$ onto a surface of general type or of degree $9$ onto a rational surface.References
