Barth–Nieto quintic

In algebraic geometry, the Barth–Nieto quintic is a quintic 3-fold in 4 (or sometimes 5) dimensional projective space studied by Wolf Barth and Isidro Nieto (1994) that is the Hessian of the Segre cubic.

Definition

The Barth–Nieto quintic is the closure of the set of points (x0:x1:x2:x3:x4:x5) of P5 satisfying the equations

Properties

The Barth–Nieto quintic is not rational, but has a smooth model that is a modular Calabi–Yau manifold with Kodaira dimension zero. Furthermore, it is birationally equivalent to a compactification of the Siegel modular variety A1,3(2).[1]

gollark: The major issue is the messiness, but it's also a bit unoptimized so if anyone has ideas for reducing query count that would help.
gollark: https://github.com/osmarks/myrkheim/blob/master/src/crawler.jsSeriously, this (and the rest of the code) is kind of a mess, anyone got suggestions for improving it?
gollark: No, actual regular expressions aren't, extended ones *are*.
gollark: Is it *possible* to do that by regex?
gollark: Oh, and it worked after a restart. Weird.
