= Base-point count for a Lefschetz pencil on a symplectic four-torus
{title2=$b=2g-2$}

The standard four-<torus> has trivial complex tangent bundle, so its <symplectic canonical class> is zero. The <symplectic adjunction formula> gives $F^2=2g-2$ for a smooth genus-$g$ fiber of a symplectic <Lefschetz pencil>. Two generic fibers meet once positively at each base point and nowhere else, giving the displayed count.
