Fermat cubic

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In geometry, the Fermat cubic, named after Pierre de Fermat, is a surface dened by

Methods of algebraic geometry provide the following parameterization of Fermat's cubic:

In projective space the Fermat cubic is given by

The 27 lines lying on the Fermat cubic are easy to describe explicitly: they are the 9 lines of the form (w: aw: y: by) where a and b are xed numbers
with cube 1, and their 18 conjugates under permutations of coordinates.
