Toric Elliptic Pairs with Picard Number Three
Abstract
An elliptic pair is a generalization of a rational elliptic fibration with fiber introduced in \cite{jenia_blowup}. Here, is a projective rational surface with log terminal singularities, and is an irreducible curve contained in the smooth locus of with and These naturally arise as blowups of projective toric surfaces, whose Newton polygon is elliptic. The order of in gives a quantitative way to check if is an elliptic fibration, which is equivalent to finiteness of the order. We call a Lang-Trotter polygon when this order is infinite, in which case is non-polyhedral. The paper \cite{lizzie} shows there are exactly elliptic triangles up to none of which is Lang-Trotter. The paper \cite{jenia_blowup} gives an infinite family of Lang-Trotter pentagons and heptagons, and various examples of other polygons when Remark 4.7 in the paper asks if any Lang-Trotter quadrilaterals exist, and we answer this in the negative by studying the curves in the Zariski Decomposition of
