Hessian Quartic Surfaces That Are Kummer Surfaces

چکیده
In 1899, Hutchinson [Hut99] presented a way to obtain a threeparameter family of Hessians of cubic surfaces as blowups of Kummer surfaces. We show that this family consists of those Hessians containing an extra class of conic curves. Based on this, we find the invariant of a cubic surface C in pentahedral form that vanishes if its Hessian is in Hutchinson’s family, and we give an explicit map between cubic surfaces in pentahedral form and blowups of Kummer surfaces.

Birational Automorphisms of Quartic Hessian Surfaces
We find generators of the group of birational automorphisms of the Hessian surface of a general cubic surface. Its nonsingular minimal model is a K3 surface with the Picard lattice of rank 16 which embeds naturally in the even unimodular lattice II1,25 of rank 26 and signature (1, 25). The generators are related to reflections with respect to some Leech roots. A similar observation was made fir...
متن کاملSmooth Kummer Surfaces in Projective Three-space
In this note we prove the existence of smooth Kummer surfaces in projective three-space containing sixteen mutually disjoint smooth rational curves of any given degree. Introduction Let X be a smooth quartic surface in projective three-space P. As a consequence of Nikulin’s theorem [6] X is a Kummer surface if and only if it contains sixteen mutually disjoint smooth rational curves. The classic...
متن کاملHeisenberg-invariant Kummer Surfaces Ii
is the closure of the locus parametrizing H22-invariant quartics with 16 skew lines. The smooth surfaces of this type are parametrized by a non-empty open set N s of N . These surfaces are Kummer surfaces associated to abelian surfaces with a (1,3)–polarization. The action of the Heisenberg group on the Kummer surface corresponds to a level-2 structure on the abelian surface. If A is an abelian...
متن کاملSmooth quartic surfaces with 352 conics
Up to now the maximal number of smooth conics, that can lie on a smooth quartic surface, seems not to be known. So our number 352 should be compared with 64, the maximal number of lines that can lie on a smooth quartic [S]. We construct the surfaces as Kummer surfaces of abelian surfaces with a polarization of type (1, 9). Using Saint-Donat’s technique [D] we show that they embed in IP3. In thi...
متن کاملL_1 operator and Gauss map of quadric surfaces
The quadrics are all surfaces that can be expressed as a second degree polynomialin x, y and z. We study the Gauss map G of quadric surfaces in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space R^3 with respect to the so called L_1 operator ( Cheng-Yau operator □) acting on the smooth functions defined on the surfaces. For any smooth functions f defined on the surfaces, L_f=tr(P_1o hessf), where P_1 is t...
