On numerically pluricanonical cyclic coverings
Abstract
In this article, we investigate some properties of cyclic coverings of complex surfaces of general type branched along smooth curves that are numerically equivalent to a multiple of the canonical class. The main results concern coverings of surfaces of general type with pg=0 and Miyaoka--Yau surfaces; in particular, they provide new examples of multicomponent moduli spaces of surfaces with given Chern numbers as well as new examples of surfaces that are not deformation equivalent to their complex conjugates.
