Abstract

Using the theory of rational elliptic fibrations, we construct and discuss a one parameter family of configurations of 1212 conics and 99 points in the projective plane that realizes an abstract configuration (126,98)(12_6,9_8). This is analogous to the famous Hesse configuration of 1212 lines and 99 points forming an abstract configuration (123,94)(12_3,9_4). We also show that any Halphen elliptic fibration of index 22 with four triangular singular fibers arises from such configuration of conics.
