Abstract

We study special triple covers of algebraic surfaces, where the Tschirnhausen bundle is a quotient of a split rank three vector bundle, and we provide several necessary and sufficient criteria for the existence. As an application, we give a complete classification of special triple planes, finding among others two nice families of K3 surfaces.
