Description
An algebraic surface defined by an equation of the form z2 = (x+a1y) ... (x + any) (x - 1) is studied, from both an algebraic and geometric point of view. It is shown that the surface is rational and contains a singular point which is nonrational. The class group of Weil divisors is computed and the Brauer group of Azumaya algebras is studied. Viewing the surface as a cyclic cover of the affine plane, all of the terms in the cohomology sequence of Chase, Harrison and Roseberg are computed.
