Abstract Graph Identifying Divisors within K3 Surfaces

Caption

Using an abstract graph, Utah State University researchers identify divisors within each K3 surface to examine varied symmetries. The different Jacobian elliptic fibrations correspond to specific colors of a connected subset of the nodes of the graph. The symmetries of the graph and the possible colorings of the nodes are crucial to understanding the symmetries of the underlying physical theories.
