Triple lines and Eckardt points on a cubic threefold

Speakers: Grâce Bockondas (Université de Neuchâtel)\n\nThe variety that parametrizes the lines on a smooth cubic threefoldis a smooth surface of general type known as the Fano surface. Among theselines, those of the second type are of particular interest: their locus in theassociated Fano surface is an algebraic curve whose study goes back to Murre’s work in 1972. In this talk, we will investigate the role of triple lines in the geometry of this curve and explore the relationships between these lines and Eckardt points.\n\nhttps://indico.math.cnrs.fr/event/16005/
