Modularity of two double covers of P^5 branched along 12 hyperplanes

Abstract: For two varieties of dimension

constructed as double covers of

{m a t h b b P}^{5}

branched along the union of

12

hyperplanes, we prove that the number of points over

{m a t h b b F}_{p}

can be expressed in terms of Artin symbols and the

p

th Fourier coefficients of modular forms. Many analogous results are known in dimension

l e 3

, but very few in higher dimension. In addition, we use an idea of Burek to construct quotients of our varieties for which the point counts mod

p

are expressible in terms of Artin symbols and the coefficients of a single modular form of weight
