A $(24_4,32_3)$-configuration on the Schur quartic with logarithmic Chern slope $14/5$
Abstract
Let be the Schur quartic We exhibit a connected arrangement of lines on , defined over , whose singular locus consists of ordinary triple points and no other intersections. Each line contains four triple points. The resulting reduced divisor satisfies , where is the hyperplane class. If blows up the triple points and , then This gives a negative answer to the K3-surface specialization of the proposed bound for transversal arrangements of rational curves. The configuration is one half of the lines of the second kind on ; an explicit projective automorphism exchanges the two halves. We deliver the line parametrizations and all triple-point coordinates. Ancillary exact-arithmetic data record the line-containment coefficients and all pair-incidence determinants. A finite-field mixed-integer search is described only as the discovery procedure and is not used in the proof.
