We present an algorithm for counting points on a double octic Calabi-Yau threefold associated to a configuration of eight planes over a finite field based on the existence of an elliptic curve fibration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
