K3 Surfaces with Nine Cusps
Abstract
By a K3-surface with nine cusps I mean a surface with nine isolated double points A2, but otherwise smooth, such that its minimal desingularisation is a K3-surface. It is shown, that such a surface admits a cyclic triple cover branched precisely over the cusps. This parallels the theorem of Nikulin, that a K3-surface with 16 nodes is a Kummer quotient of a complex torus.
