Real quartic surfaces containing 16 skew lines
نویسنده
چکیده
It is well known that there is an open three-dimensional subvariety Ms of the Grassmannian of lines in P3 which parametrizes smooth irreducible complex surfaces of degree 4 which are Heisenberg invariant, and each quartic contains 32 lines but only 16 skew lines, being determined by its configuration of lines, are called a double 16. We consider here the problem of visualizing in a computer the real Heisenberg invariant quartic surface and the real double 16. We construct a family of points l∈Ms parametrized by a two-dimensional semialgebraic variety such that under a change of coordinates of l into its Plüecker, coordinates transform into the real coordinates for a line L in P3, which is then used to construct a program in Maple 7. The program allows us to draw the quartic surface and the set of transversal lines to L. Additionally, we include a table of a group of examples. For each test example we specify a parameter, the viewing angle of the image, compilation time, and other visual properties of the real surface and its real double 16. We include at the end of the paper an example showing the surface containing the double 16.

2 00 1 Real Quartic Surfaces in RP 3 containing 16 Skew Lines Isidro Nieto
In [BN] the authors construct a special complex of degree 20 over M , which for an open three dimensional set parametrizes smooth complex surfaces of degree four invariant which are Heisenberg invariant, and each member of the family contains 32 lines but only 16 skew lines. The coordinates of the lines however need not be real. For a point l in a Zariski open set of M an algorithm is presented...
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 کاملRational Parametrizations of Real Cubic Surfaces
Real cubic algebraic surfaces may be described by either implicit or parametric equations. Each of these representations has strengths and weaknesses and have been used extensively in computer graphics. Applications involving both representations include the efficient computation of surface intersections, and triangulation of curved surfaces. One particularly useful representation is the ration...
متن کاملRuled Quartic Surfaces, Models and Classification
New historical aspects of the classification, by Cayley and Cremona, of ruled quartic surfaces and the relation to string models and plaster models are presented. In a ‘modern’ treatment of the classification of ruled quartic surfaces the classical one is corrected and completed. A conceptual proof is presented of a result of Rohn concerning curves in P × P of bi-degree (2, 2). The string model...
