Abstract

We show, in this second part, that the maximal number of singular points of a quartic surface \(X \subset \mathbb{P}^3_K\) defined over an algebraically closed field \(K\) of characteristic \(2\) is at most \(14\), and that, if we have \(14\) singularities, these are nodes and moreover the minimal resolution of \(X\) is a supersingular K3 surface. We produce an irreducible component, of dimension \(24\), of the variety of quartics with \(14\) nodes. We also exhibit easy examples of quartics with \(7\) \(A_3\)-singularities.

Keywords
