Lines on smooth polarized $K3$-surfaces

Algebraic Geometry 2019-09-13 v2

Abstract

For each integer D3D\ge3, we give a sharp bound on the number of lines contained in a smooth complex 2D2D-polarized K3K3-surface in PD+1\mathbb{P}^{D+1}. In the two most interesting cases of sextics in P4\mathbb{P}^4 and octics in P5\mathbb{P}^5, the bounds are 4242 and 3636, respectively, as conjectured in an earlier paper.
