Source abstract

We construct a pencil of complex quintic surfaces with every smooth member containing exactly 8585 lines. We show that one smooth member has Picard number 4343 and by introducing the notion of a dd-saturated lattice, we prove that its Néron--Severi group is generated by the lines and four conics. We also construct smooth quintic surfaces with 7979 lines, including examples with 2424 pairwise skew lines, and a smooth surface of degree 1010 with 356356 lines, including 112112 pairwise skew lines.
