Lines on K3-sextics with simple singularities

We advance our understanding of the configurations of low degree smooth rational curves on (quasi-)polarized complex K3-surfaces.

We apply our efficient approach to classify the configurations of at least 36 lines on K3-sextics with at worst A-D-E singularities.

Besides, we characterize a certain class of infinite dihedral groups of birational automorphisms of K3-sextics, we show that no K3-sextic can contain a Kummer configuration of lines, and we give a complete account of the line configurations on closest analogue of Kummer K3-octics or quartics, viz. the so-called Humbert K3-sextics.
