Enriques surfaces, numerically #
The numerical signature of a classical Enriques surface is
td₁(Y) = 0, because the canonical class is torsion and disappears in the numerical quotient;∫_Y td₂(Y) = χ(O_Y) = 1.
IsEnriques records exactly this numerical shadow. It does not assert that a
geometric Enriques scheme exists, nor does it recover the non-trivial
2-torsion canonical line bundle: numerical equivalence cannot see that data.
The numerical signature of an Enriques surface: numerically trivial canonical
class and χ(O_Y) = 1.
This is deliberately weaker than AlgebraicGeometry.SmoothProperVariety.IsEnriquesSurface:
the latter is geometric and remembers non-trivial 2-torsion in Pic, while
this predicate lives after passage to numerical data.
td₁(Y) = −K_Y/2 = 0in the numerical quotient.∫_Y td₂(Y) = χ(O_Y) = 1.
Instances For
Riemann--Roch on a numerical Enriques surface:
χ(E) = rank(E) + ∫_Y ch₂(E).
The c₁ term vanishes numerically, while the rank term has coefficient one,
in contrast with the K3 coefficient two.
