We show in particular that the (pluri)canonical pencils on these surfaces have the same monodromy groups, and are related by a "partial twisting" operation.This is the version published by Geometry & Topology on 29 November 2006Geometric TopologySymplectic Geometry57R17, 14D05, 53D35The canonical pencils on Horikawa surfacestext
