Geometry of the Wiman Pencil, I: Algebro-Geometric Aspects
arXiv:1709.09256
Abstract
In 1981 W.L. Edge discovered and studied a pencil of highly symmetric genus projective curves with remarkable properties. Edge's work was based on an 1895 paper of A. Wiman. Both papers were written in the satisfying style of 19th century algebraic geometry. In this paper and its sequel [FL], we consider from a more modern, conceptual perspective, whereby explicit equations are reincarnated as geometric objects.
