Invariant Smooth Quartic Surfaces by all Finite Primitive Groups of $\operatorname{PGL}_4(\mathbb{C})$ (2211.13273v1)

Abstract: For each finite primitive subgroup $G$ of $\operatorname{PGL}4(\mathbb{C})$, we find all the smooth $G$-invariant quartic surfaces. We also find all the faithful representations in $\operatorname{PGL}_4(\mathbb{C})$ of the smooth quartic $G$-invariant surfaces by the groups: $\mathfrak{A}_5,\mathfrak{S}_5, \operatorname{PSL_2(\mathbb{F}_7)},\mathfrak{A}_6,\mathbb{Z}_2^4\rtimes\mathbb{Z}_5$ and $\mathbb{Z}_2^4\rtimes D{10}$. The primitive representation of these groups are precisely the subgroups of $\operatorname{PGL}_4(\mathbb{C})$ for which $\mathbb{P}^3$ is not $G$-super rigid. As a byproduct, we show that the smooth quartic surface with the biggest group of projective automorphism is given by ${ x_0^4 + x_1^4 + x_2^4 + x_3^4 + 12 x_0 x_1 x_2 x_3= 0}$ (unique up to projective equivalence).
