Fermat quintic threefold

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In mathematics, a Fermat quintic threefold is a special quintic threefold, in other words a degree 5 dimension 3 hypersurface in 4-dimensional
projective space, given by

It is a CalabiYau manifold.

Rational curves
Clemens (1984) conjectured that the number of rational curves of a given degree on a generic quintic threefold is nite. The Fermat quintic threefold is
not generic in this sense, and Albano & Katz (1991) showed that its lines are contained in 50 1-dimensional families of the form (x:x:ay:by:cy)
for 5=1 and a5+b5+c5=0. There 375 lines in more than 1 family, of the form (x: x:y:y:0) for 5th roots of1 and.
