In algebraic geometry, a Togliatti surface is a nodal surface of degree five with 31 nodes. The first examples were constructed by Eugenio G. Togliatti ( 1940 ). Arnaud Beauville ( 1980 ) proved that 31 is the maximum possible number of nodes for a surface of this degree, showing this example to be optimal.

Basic results on algebraic surfaces include the Hodge index theorem, and the division into five groups of birational equivalence classes called the classification of algebraic surfaces. The general type class, of Kodaira dimension 2, is very large (degree 5 or larger for a non-singular surface in P 3 lies in it, for example).
An algebraic surface is an algebraic variety of dimension two. The Enriques-Kodaira classification gives an overview of the possibilities. Over the complex numbers, a non-singular algebraic surface is an example of a 4-manifold
The emphasis on algebraic surfaces—algebraic varieties of dimension two—followed on from an essentially complete geometric theory of algebraic curves (dimension 1). The position in around 1870 was that the curve theory had incorporated with Brill–Noether theory the Riemann–Roch theorem in all its refinements (via the detailed geometry of the theta-divisor).
Quotient surfaces, surfaces that are constructed as the orbit space of some other surface by the action of a finite group; examples include Kummer, Godeaux, Hopf, and Inoue surfaces; Zariski surfaces, surfaces in finite characteristic that admit a purely inseparable dominant rational map from the projective plane
A map is a function, as in the association of any of the four colored shapes in X to its color in Y. In mathematics, a map or mapping is a function in its general sense. [1] These terms may have originated as from the process of making a geographical map: mapping the Earth surface to a sheet of paper. [2]
The Veronese surface arises naturally in the study of conics.A conic is a degree 2 plane curve, thus defined by an equation: + + + + + = The pairing between coefficients (,,,,,) and variables (,,) is linear in coefficients and quadratic in the variables; the Veronese map makes it linear in the coefficients and linear in the monomials.
