Abstract We generalise two quartic surfaces studied by Swinnerton-Dyer to give two infinite families of diagonal quartic surfaces which violate the Hasse principle. Standard calculations of Brauer–Manin obstructions are exhibited.

AbstractWe investigate the number of straight lines contained in a K3 quartic surface X defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 3. We prove that if X contains 112 lines, then X is projectively equivalent to the Fermat quartic surface; otherwise, X contains at most 67 lines. We improve this bound to 58 if X contains a star (ie four distinct lines intersecting at a smooth point of X). 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.

Abstract K3 polytopes appear in complements of tropical quartic surfaces. They are dual to regular unimodular central triangulations of reflexive polytopes in the fourth dilation of the standard tetrahedron. Exploring these combinatorial objects, we classify K3 polytopes with up to 30 vertices. Their number is 36 297 333. We study the singular loci of quartic surfaces that tropicalize to K3 polytopes. These surfaces are stable in the sense of Geometric Invariant Theory.

Abstract We give a new practical method for computing subvarieties of projective hypersurfaces. By computing the periods of a given hypersurface X, we find algebraic cohomology cycles on X. On well picked algebraic cycles, we can then recover the equations of subvarieties of X that realize these cycles. In practice, a bulk of the computations involve transcendental numbers and have to be carried out with floating point numbers. However, if X is defined over algebraic numbers then the coefficients of the equations of subvarieties can be reconstructed as algebraic numbers. A symbolic computation then verifies the results. As an illustration of the method, we compute generators of the Picard groups of some quartic surfaces. A highlight of the method is that the Picard group computations are proved to be correct despite the fact that the Picard numbers of our examples are not extremal.

We develop an algorithm detecting real representatives in equisingular strata of projective models of [Formula: see text]-surfaces. We apply this algorithm to spatial quartics and find two new examples of real strata without real representatives. As a by-product, we also give a new proof for the only previously known example of plane sextics.
