For an Enriques surface S , the non-degeneracy invariant nd( S ) retains information on the elliptic fibrations of S and its polarizations. In the current paper, we introduce a combinatorial version of the non-degeneracy invariant which depends on S together with a configuration of smooth rational curves, and gives a lower bound for nd( S ) . We provide a SageMath code that computes this combinatorial invariant and we apply it in several examples. First we identify a new family of nodal Enriques surfaces satisfying nd( S ) = 10 which are not general and with infinite automorphism group. We obtain lower bounds on nd( S ) for the Enriques surfaces with eight disjoint smooth rational curves studied by Mendes Lopes–Pardini. Finally, we recover Dolgachev and Kond¯o’s computation of the non-degeneracy invariant of the Enriques surfaces with finite automorphism group and provide additional information on the geometry of their elliptic fibrations.","PeriodicalId":50464,"journal":{"name":"Experimental Mathematics","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.5,"publicationDate":"2022-02-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44113465","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"数学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
