Real two-dimensional intersections of a quadric by a cubic (Q2435801)

The paper contains the complete equisingular deformation classification of real regular complete intersections of bidegree \((2,3)\) in \(\mathbb P^{4}\). (Recall that a real algebraic variety can be regarded as a complex variety equipped with an anti-holomorphic involution, referred to as the \textit{real structure}. The real structure on \(\mathbb P^{4}\) is assumed standard.) The class of regular complete intersections of bidegree \((2,3)\) coincides with that of \(6\)-polarized \(K3\)-surfaces; hence, by means of the global Torelli theorem and surjectivity of the period map, the problem reduces to Nikulin's theory of discriminant forms. Among other questions, the author studies the types of quadrics on which representatives of a given deformation family can be realized. As an application, he describes the topological type of the real part of a certain previously missing Fano variety.
