Base-point count for a Lefschetz pencil on a symplectic four-torus

ID: base-point-count-for-a-lefschetz-pencil-on-a-symplectic-four-torus

The standard four-torus has trivial complex tangent bundle, so its symplectic canonical class is zero. The symplectic adjunction formula gives for a smooth genus- fiber of a symplectic Lefschetz pencil. Two generic fibers meet once positively at each base point and nowhere else, giving the displayed count.
