Sarti surface

In algebraic geometry, a Sarti surface is a degree-12 nodal surface with 600 nodes, found by Alessandra Sarti (2008). The maximal possible number of nodes of a degree-12 surface is not known (as of 2015), though Yoichi Miyaoka showed that it is at most 645.

Sarti has also found sextic, octic and dodectic nodal surfaces which high numbers of nodes and high degrees of symmetry.
