First sentence: In [2] (see p. 159) A. Beauville constructed a new surface of general type with K2 = 8, pg = 0 as a quotient of the product of two Fermat curves of degree 5 by the action of the group (Z/5Z).
Description: "This volume contains a selection of articles exploring geometric approaches to problems in algebra, algebraic geometry and number theory. The collection gives a representative sample of problems and the most recent results in algebraic and arithmetic geometry; the text can serve as an intense introduction for graduate students and those wishing to pursue research in these areas."--Jacket.
