### A tale of two surfaces

Arnaud Beauville

#### Abstract

We point out a link between two surfaces which have appeared recently in the literature: the surface of cuboids and the Schoen surface. Both give rise to a surface with $q=4$, whose canonical map is 2-to-1 onto a complete intersection of 4 quadrics in $\mathbb{P}^6$ with 48 nodes.
