List of complex and algebraic surfaces

This is a list of named algebraic surfaces, compact complex surfaces, and families thereof, sorted according to their Kodaira dimension following Enriques–Kodaira classification.

Kodaira dimension 0

  • Reye congruences, the locus of lines that lie on at least two quadrics in a general three dimensional linear system of quadric surfaces in projective 3-space  .
  • The quotient of a K3 surface under a fixpointfree involution.
  • Horrocks–Mumford surfaces, surfaces of degree 10 in projective 4-space that are the zero locus of sections of the rank-two Horrocks–Mumford bundle

Kodaira dimension 1

Kodaira dimension 2 (surfaces of general type)

Families of surfaces with members in multiple classes

edit
  • Surfaces that are also Shimura varieties:
  • Elliptic surfaces, surfaces with an elliptic fibration; quasielliptic surfaces constitute a modification this idea that occurs in finite characteristic
  • Exceptional surfaces, surfaces whose Picard number achieve the bound set by the central Hodge number h1,1
  • Kähler surfaces, complex surfaces with a Kähler metric; equivalently, surfaces for which the first Betti number b1 is even
  • Minimal surfaces, surfaces that can't be obtained from another by blowing up at a point; they have no connection with the minimal surfaces of differential geometry
  • Nodal surfaces, surfaces whose only singularities are nodes
    • Cayley's nodal cubic, which has 4 nodes
    • Kummer surfaces, quartic surfaces with 16 nodes
    • Togliatti surface, a certain quintic with 31 nodes
    • Barth surfaces, referring to a certain sextic with 65 nodes and decic with 345 nodes
    • Labs surface, a certain septic with 99 nodes
    • Endrass surface, a certain surface of degree 8 with 168 nodes
    • Sarti surface, a certain surface of degree 12 with 600 nodes
  • Quotient surfaces, surfaces that are constructed as the orbit space of some other surface by the action of a finite group; examples include Kummer, Godeaux, Hopf, and Inoue surfaces
  • Zariski surfaces, surfaces in finite characteristic that admit a purely inseparable dominant rational map from the projective plane
