CubicSurface -- type of HashTable

Description

CubicSurface is a type of HashTable storing information about a smooth cubic surface in P^3. The keys of a QuadricSurface are: IntersectionPairing, HyperplaneClass, CanonicalClass, Ideal, BlowUpPoints, MapToP3.

Methods that use an object of class CubicSurface:

  • divisor(List,CubicSurface) -- see divisor -- creates a Divisor
  • ideal(CubicSurface) -- see ideal(QuadricSurface) -- extracts the ideal of a surface
  • net(CubicSurface) -- displays the ideal of the CubicSurface
  • smoothDivisors(ZZ,CubicSurface) -- see smoothDivisors -- produces a list of smooth divisors of a given degree on a surface

For the programmer

The object CubicSurface is a type, with ancestor classes HashTable < Thing.
