Cayley Cubic

A Cubic Ruled Surface (Fischer 1986) in which the director line meets the director ConicSection. Cayley's surface is the unique cubic surface having four Ordinary Double Points(Hunt), the maximum possible for Cubic Surface (Endraß). The Cayley cubic is invariant under the Tetrahedral Groupand contains exactly nine lines, six of which connect the four nodes pairwise and the other three of which are coplanar (Endraß).

If the Ordinary Double Points in projective 3-space are taken as (1, 0, 0, 0), (0, 1, 0, 0),(0, 0, 1, 0), (0, 0, 0, 1), then the equation of the surface in projective coordinates is

(Hunt). Defining ``affine'' coordinates with plane at infinity

and

then gives the equation

plotted in the left figure above (Hunt). The slightly different form

is given by Endraß which, when rewritten in Tetrahedral Coordinates, becomes

plotted in the right figure above.

The Hessian of the Cayley cubic is given by

in homogeneous coordinates

, and

. Taking the plane at infinity as

andsetting

, and

as above gives the equation

plotted above (Hunt). The Hessian of the Cayley cubic has 14 Ordinary Double Points, four morethan a the general Hessian of a smooth Cubic Surface (Hunt).
