Abstract
We investigate the number of straight lines contained in a K3 quartic surface defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 3. We prove that if contains 112 lines, then is projectively equivalent to the Fermat quartic surface; otherwise, contains at most 67 lines. We improve this bound to 58 if contains a star (ie four distinct lines intersecting at a smooth point of ). Explicit equations of three 1-dimensional families of smooth quartic surfaces with 58 lines, and of a quartic surface with 8 singular points and 48 lines are provided.
