About Kummer surface
In algebraic geometry, a Kummer quartic surface, first studied by Ernst Kummer, is an irreducible nodal surface of degree 4 in with the maximal possible number of 16 double points. Any such surface is the Kummer variety of the Jacobian variety of a smooth hyperelliptic curve of genus 2; i.e. a quotient of the Jacobian by the Kummer involution x ↦ −x. The Kummer involution has 16 fixed points: the 16 2-torsion point of the Jacobian, and they are the 16 singular points of the quartic surface.
