Examples
- A double cover of the projective plane branched along a non-singular degree 6 curve is a genus 2 K3 surface.
- A Kummer surface is the quotient of a two-dimensional abelian variety A by the action a → −a. This results in 16 singularities, at the 2-torsion points of A. The minimal resolution of this quotient is a genus 3 K3 surface.
- A non-singular degree 4 surface in P3 is a genus 3 K3 surface.
- The intersection of a quadric and a cubic in P4 gives genus 4 K3 surfaces.
- The intersection of three quadrics in P5 gives genus 5 K3 surfaces.
- Brown (2007) describes a computer database of K3 surfaces.

Famous quotes containing the word examples:
“No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.”
—André Breton (1896–1966)
“It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.”
—G.C. (Georg Christoph)
“In the examples that I here bring in of what I have [read], heard, done or said, I have refrained from daring to alter even the smallest and most indifferent circumstances. My conscience falsifies not an iota; for my knowledge I cannot answer.”
—Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
