%0 Journal Article %T Kulikov surfaces form a connected component of the moduli space %A Tsz On Mario Chan %A Stephen Coughlan %J Mathematics %D 2010 %I arXiv %R 10.1215/00277630-2076999 %X We show that the Kulikov surfaces form a connected component of the moduli space of surfaces of general type with p_g=0 and K^2=6. We also give a new description for the surfaces, extending ideas of Inoue. Finally we calculate the bicanonical degree of a Kulikov surface, and prove that they verify the Bloch conjecture. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1011.5574v2
