Kummer configuration refers to a specific arrangement of points and lines (or more generally, subschemes) related to certain algebraic structures, specifically in the context of algebraic geometry and number theory. It is named after the mathematician Ernst Eduard Kummer, who contributed significantly to the field of number theory and modular forms. In a more precise geometric context, the Kummer configuration typically describes a geometric configuration formed from the zeros of a certain polynomial or by considering specific algebraic varieties.
