Counting Lines on Quartic Surfaces

Algebraic Geometry 2017-05-23 v1

Abstract

We prove the sharp bound of at most 64 lines on complex projective quartic surfaces (resp. affine quartics) that are not ruled by lines. We study configurations of lines on certain non-K3 surfaces of degree four and give various examples of singular quartics with many lines.
