Mohammad F.Tehrani 2012-10-03T20:48:36Z 2012-10-03T21:43:20Z <p>Let $E$ be a blow-up of $\mathbb{P}^2$ at 9-points in the bases locus of a pencil of elliptic curves (A $T^2$ fibration over $S^2$).</p> <p>K3 surfaces is obtained by removing a fiber from two copies of $E$ and gluing along the boundaries.</p> <p>How do we realize 22 second homology classes of K3, in terms of 10 second homology classes of $E$. I know this is classic but I could not find a reference.</p>
