Some explicit elliptic modular surfaces
arXiv:1603.05613
Abstract
We consider algebraic surfaces, recently constructed by Schreieder, that are smooth models of the quotient of the self-product of a complex hyperelliptic curve by a -action. We show that these surfaces are elliptic modular surfaces in the sense of Shioda, meaning in particular that they are universal families of explicit moduli of elliptic curves.
