%0 Journal Article %T Genus 2 curve configurations on Fano surfaces %A Xavier Roulleau %J Mathematics %D 2010 %I arXiv %X We study the configurations of genus 2 curves on the Fano surfaces of cubic threefolds. We establish a link between some involutive automorphisms acting on such a surface S and genus 2 curves on S. We give a partial classification of the Fano surfaces according to the automorphism group generated by these involutions and determine the configurations of their genus 2 curves. We study the Fano surface of the Klein cubic threefold for which the 55 genus 2 curves generate a rank 25=h^{1,1} index 2 subgroup of the N\'eron-Severi group. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1002.4467v1
