Abstract

It is well-known that the Fermat surface of degree d3d\geq 3 has 3d23d^2 lines. However, it has not yet been established what is the maximal number of pairwise disjoint lines that it can have if d4d\geq 4. In this article we show that the maximal number of skew lines on the Fermat surface of degree d4d\geq 4 is 3d3d, either dd even or dd odd distinct of 5, otherwise (d=5d=5) it contains no more than 13 pairwise disjoint lines.
