Questions tagged [algebraic-surfaces]
An algebraic surface is an algebraic variety of dimension two. In the case of geometry over the field of complex numbers, an algebraic surface has complex dimension two (as a complex manifold, when it is non-singular) and so of dimension four as a smooth manifold.

What is the smallest and "best" 27 lines configuration? And what is its symmetry group?
I was this past year working with a bright high-schooler on algebraic geometry following Reid's book Undergraduate Algebraic Geometry, and we got all the way to proving that there is at least one line ...

Jacobian fibration of elliptic fibration: basic relations between Enriques invariants
Let $f: X \to B$ be an elliptic fibration, so proper map from smooth surface $X$ onto smooth conn. curve over alg closed base field $k$ with connected fibers such that almost all fibers are elliptic ...

Image of K3 surface under finite map with pure ramification rational
Let $X$ be a projective K3 surface and $f: X \to Y$ a non etale, finite map, restricting to etale on non empty open $U \subset Y$ of degree prime to char of alg closed base field of $k$. Assume ...

Every elliptic surface contains only finitely many negative self-intersection rational curves?
By a properly elliptic surface, I mean an algebraic surface $X$ with Kodaira dimension $\kappa(X)=1$. It has a natural elliptic fibration $\pi\colon X\rightarrow S$.
According to section 5.2 of this ...

Quotient of K3 surface: complex vs positive characteristic
Let $f: X \to X$ be a non-symplectic automorphism of finite order of complex projective K3 surface $X$. (Recall: Non-symplectic means that the induced action on $H(X,K_X)=H^0(X, \Omega_X^2)$ is not ...
