We determine the possible even sets of nodes on sextic surfaces in $\Pn 3$, showing in particular that their cardinalities are exactly the numbers in the set $\{24, 32, 40, 56 \}$. We also show that all the possible cases admit an explicit…

Let S be a surface in complex projective 3-space, having only nodes as singularities. Suppose that S has degree 6. We show that the maximum number of nodes which S can have is 65. An abbreviated history of this is as follows. Basset showed…

To each nodal hypersurface one can associate a binary linear code. Here we show that the binary linear code associated to sextics in $\mathbb{P}^3$ with the maximum number of $65$ nodes, as e.g. the Barth sextic, is unique. We also state…

We prove that every maximally nodal sextic surface\,(with 65 nodes) $X \subset \mathbb{P}_{\mathbb{C}}^3$ contains a symmetric half-even set of nodes of cardinality 35. It follows that the associated half-quadratic sheaf is the cokernel of…

Let S be a surface in CP^3, having only nodes as singularities. Let pi: S~ --> S be a minimal resolution of singularities. A set N of nodes on S is EVEN if there exists a divisor Q on S~ such that 2Q ~ pi^{-1}(N). Suppose that S has degree…

Recently, W. Barth and S. Rams discussed sextics with up to 30 $A_2$-singularities (also called cusps) and their connection to coding theory [math.AG/0403018]. In the present paper, we find a sextic with 35 cusps within a four-parameter…

Catanese and Tonoli showed that the maximal cardinality for an even set of nodes on a sextic surface is 56 and they constructed such nodal surfaces. In this paper we give an alternative, rather simple, construction for these surfaces…

We construct a hypersurface of degree 5 in projective space $\PP^8(\CC)$ which contains exactly 23436 ordinary nodes and no further singularities. This limits the maximum number $\mu_{8}(5)$ of ordinary nodes a hyperquintic in $\PP^8(\CC)$…

We prove that the maximal number of conics in a smooth sextic $K3$-surface $X\subset\mathbb{P}^4$ is 285, whereas the maximal number of real conics in a real sextic is 261. In both extremal configurations, all conics are irreducible.

We attach two binary codes to a projective nodal surface (the strict code K and, for even degree d, the extended code K' ) to investigate the `Nodal Severi varieties F(d, n) of nodal surfaces in P^3 of degree d and with n nodes, and their…

A fullerene graph is a cubic 3-connected plane graph with (exactly 12) pentagonal faces and hexagonal faces. Let $F_n$ be a fullerene graph with $n$ vertices. A set $\mathcal H$ of mutually disjoint hexagons of $F_n$ is a sextet pattern if…

Let S be the variety of irreducible sextics with six cusps as singularities. Let W be one of irreducible components of W. Denoting by M_4 the space of moduli of smooth curves of genus 4, the moduli map of W is the rational map from W to M_4…

The {\em square} of a graph $G$, denoted $G^2$, has the same vertex set as $G$ and an edge between any two vertices at distance at most $2$ in $G$. Wegner (1977) conjectured that for a planar graph $G$, $\chi(G^2) \leq 7$ if $\Delta(G) =…

A graph with vertex set V and edge set E is called a (d,c)-expander if the maximum degree of a vertex is d and, for every subset W of V that has cardinality at most |V|/2, the number of edges between vertices in W and vertices outside of W…

For a given graph $G = (V, E)$, a subset of the vertices $D\subseteq V$ is called a semitotal dominating set, if $D$ is a dominating set and every vertex $v \in D$ is within distance two to another witness $v' \in D$. We want to find a…

For $B \subseteq \mathbb F_q^m$, the $n$-th affine extremal number of $B$ is the maximum cardinality of a set $A \subseteq \mathbb F_q^n$ with no subset which is affinely isomorphic to $B$. Furstenberg and Katznelson proved that for any $B…

In this paper, we study the maximum number of edges in an $N$-vertex $r$-uniform hypergraph with girth $g$ where $g \in \{5,6 \}$. Writing $\textrm{ex}_r ( N, \mathcal{C}_{<g} )$ for this maximum, it is shown that $\textrm{ex}_r ( N ,…

We address the following question: what are the cardinalities of maximal finite families of pairwise incident planes in a complex projective space? One proves easily that the span of the planes has dimension 5 or 6. Up to projectivities…

We develop explicit techniques to investigate algebraic quasi-hyperbolicity of singular surfaces through the constraints imposed by symmetric differentials. We apply these methods to prove that rational curves on Barth's sextic surface,…

It follows from classical restrictions on the topology of real algebraic varieties that the first Betti number of the real part of a real nonsingular sextic in $\mathbb{CP}^3$ can not exceed $94$. We construct a real nonsingular sextic $X$…
