Determinantal quartic surfaces with a definite Hermitian representation

Algebraic Geometry 2020-07-03 v1

Abstract

We give a bound on the number of isolated, essential singularities of determinantal quartic surfaces in 3-space. We also provide examples of different configurations of real singularities on quartic surfaces with a definite Hermitian determinantal representation, and conjecture an extension of a theorem by Degtyarev and Itenberg.
