Divisors on Burniat surfaces

Abstract

In this short note, we extend the results of [Alexeev-Orlov, 2012] about Picard groups of Burniat surfaces with $K^2=6$ to the cases of $2\le K^2\le 5$. We also compute the semigroup of effective divisors on Burniat surfaces with $K^2=6$. Finally, we construct an exceptional collection on a nonnormal semistable degeneration of a 1-parameter family of Burniat surfaces with $K^2=6$.

v.2: small correction for the $K^2=2$ case
