The Fano surface of the Klein cubic threefold

Abstract

We prove that the Klein cubic threefold FF is the only smooth cubic threefold which has an automorphism of order 11. We compute the period lattice of the intermediate Jacobian of FF and study its Fano surface SS. We compute also the set of fibrations of SS onto a curve of positive genus and the intersection between the fibres of these fibrations. These fibres generate an index 2 sub-group of the N\'eron-Severi group and we obtain a set of generators of this group. The N\'eron-Severi group of SS has rank 25=h1,125=h^{1,1} and discriminant 111011^{10}.
