Abstract

We construct from a general del Pezzo surface of degree 1 a Gorenstein stable surface X with \({K_X^2=1}\) and p g (X) = q(X) = 0. These surfaces are not smoothable but give an open subset of an irreducible component of the moduli space of stable Godeaux surfaces. In a particular example we also compute the canonical ring explicitly and discuss the behaviour of pluricanonical maps.
