adjacency matrix of a graph and lines on quartic surfaces

Suppose you are given a smooth quartic surface $X$ in $\mathbb P^3$. I would like to find an upper bound for the number of lines on $X$ in the case that there is no plane intersecting the curves in ...

Picard/cohomology lattice of surfaces of low degree in $\mathbb P^3$

Let $S_{d>3}\subset\mathbb{P}^3_{\mathbb{C}}$ be a smooth surface of degree $d$. What is known (where to read?) about the Picard/cohomology lattice for small d? e.g. for $d=4$ the cohomology ...

Picard number of Hilbert modular surfaces

Hilbert modular surfaces are discussed in various papers by Hirzebruch. Following [HZ] (and their notations), one obtains Hilbert modular surfaces by the action of Hilbert modular group on $\mathcal{H}...
