The Dolgachev Surface

Abstract

We prove that the Dolgachev surface E(1)2,3 admits a handlebody decomposition without 1- and 3- handles, and we draw the explicit picture of this handlebody. We also locate a "cork" inside of E(1)2,3, so that E(1)2,3 is obtained from E(1) by twisting along this cork.
