Hyperelliptic surface
In mathematics, a hyperelliptic surface, or bi-elliptic surface, is a minimal surface whose Albanese morphism is an elliptic fibration without singular fibres. Any such surface can be written as the quotient of a product of two elliptic curves by a finite abelian group.
Hyperelliptic surfaces form one of the classes of surfaces of Kodaira dimension 0 in the Enriques–Kodaira classification.

Classification
Any hyperelliptic surface is a quotient /G, where E = C/Λ and F are elliptic curves, and G is a subgroup of F, which acts on E not only by translations. There are seven families of hyperelliptic surfaces as in the following table.| order of K | Λ | G | Action of G on E |
| 2 | Any | Z/2Z | e → −e |
| 2 | Any | Z/2Z ⊕ Z/2Z | e → −e, e → e+''c, −c''=c |
| 3 | Z ⊕ Zω | Z/3Z | e → ωe |
| 3 | Z ⊕ Zω | Z/3Z ⊕ Z/3Z | e → ωe, e → e+''c, ωc''=c |
| 4 | Z ⊕ Zi; | Z/4Z | e → ie |
| 4 | Z ⊕ Zi | Z/4Z ⊕ Z/2Z | e → ie, e → e+''c, ic''=c |
| 6 | Z ⊕ Zω | Z/6Z | e → −ωe |
Here ω is a primitive [nth root of unity|primitive cube root] of 1 and i is a primitive 4th root of 1.
Quasi hyperelliptic surfaces
A quasi-hyperelliptic surface is a surface whose canonical divisor is numerically equivalent to zero, the Albanese mapping maps to an elliptic curve, and all its fibers are rational with a cusp. They only exist in characteristics 2 or 3. Their second Betti number is 2, the second Chern number vanishes, and the holomorphic Euler characteristic vanishes. They were classified by, who found six cases in characteristic 3 and eight in characteristic 2.Any quasi-hyperelliptic surface is a quotient /G, where E is a rational curve with one cusp, F is an elliptic curve, and G is a finite subgroup scheme of F.
