Automorphism groups of rational elliptic surfaces with section and constant J-map
In this paper, the automorphism groups of relatively minimal rational elliptic surfaces with section which have constant J-maps are classified. The ground field is ℂ. The automorphism group of such a surface β: B → ℙ1, denoted by Au t(B), consists of all biholomorphic maps on the complex manifold B. The group Au t(B) is isomorphic to the semi-direct product MW(B) ⋊ Aut σ (B) of the Mordell-Weil groupMW(B) (the group of sections of B), and the subgroup Aut σ (B) of the automorphisms preserving a...
