Abstract:
We consider two classifications of real Kummer quartics. They use the Heisenberg invariance of Kummer
quartics. The first divides the whole variety of real Kummer quartics into four classes according to
the Heisenberg-invariance type and then subdivides each class into subclasses to obtain a deformation classification.
This subdivision into subclasses is performed by means of the topological classification of the real parts of real
Kummer quartics. The second classification deals with the set of real Kummer quartics with a fixed Heisenberg
group. Such a set consists of a continuous part and a discrete part. We describe the deformation classes of the
continuous part and describe its discrete part.
