Kummer Surface
A Kummer surface is a type of algebraic surface that arises in the study of complex geometry. It can be defined as a specific quotient of a torus by a group of symmetries, leading to a surface with unique topological properties. Kummer surfaces are often studied in relation to elliptic curves and have applications in number theory and algebraic geometry.
These surfaces are characterized by having 16 singular points, which are often referred to as nodes. The Kummer surface can be visualized as a four-dimensional object projected into three dimensions, revealing intricate patterns and structures. They play a significant role in the classification of algebraic surfaces and contribute to our understanding of higher-dimensional geometry.
