Cálculo das retas numa superfície cúbica em P3

Abstract

In this work we study cubic surfaces in P3. More specically, we take care to count the number of lines on these surfaces. In chapter one we proved that the number of lines on a non-singular cubic surface in P3 is 27. In chapter two, as the motivation for chapter three, we focused in the classifcation of singularities of plane curves. For the singular case, discussed in chapter three, we used two algorithm to compute the number of lines. The first one consists in to divide the computation in six packages, which are actually the open set of the grassmannian G(2; 4), and in each open set we count the lines contained on the given surface. The second algorithm consists of dividing the lines on S in two packages: The package of lines passing through P and those lines that not passing through P but they are contained in a plane that contain some line passing through P, here P is an isolated singularity of the given surface.
