Abstract

A homogeneous polynomial equation in five variables determines a quintic 3-fp;d in ℂP4. Hodge numbers of a nonsingular quintic are know to be: hp, p = 1, p = 0, 1, 2, 3 (Kähler form and its powers), h3, 0 = h0,3 = 1 (a quintic happens to bear a holomorphic volume form), h2,1 = h1, 2 = 101 = 126 - 25 (it is the dimension of the space of all quintics modulo projective transformations, and h2,1 is responsible here for infinitesimal variations of the complex structure) and all the other hp,q = 0.
