Nodal cubic surfaces*
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 14 November 2011
Synopsis
The cubic surfaces in, save for the elliptic cone, are, whatever their singularities, projections of del Pezzo's non-singular surface F, of order 9 in. It is explained how, merely by specifying the geometrical relation of the vertex of projection to F, each cubic surface is obtainable “at a stroke”, without using spaces of intermediate dimensions.
