algebraic geometry
Algebraic geometry is a branch of mathematics which uses abstract algebraic techniques, mainly from commutative algebra, to solve geometry, geometrical problems. Classically, it studies zero of a function, zeros of multivariate polynomials; th ...
, a Togliatti surface is a
nodal surface of degree five with 31
nodes. The first examples were constructed by . proved that 31 is the maximum possible number of nodes for a surface of this degree, showing this example to be optimal.
