Mathematical scope

The complete pipeline treats marked rational elliptic surfaces for which Q is globally narrow; P may be non-narrow. It computes the topology from the selected local models by integral Mayer–Vietoris and van Kampen.

Implemented hypotheses

None and explicit zero

At an Ik fiber, including I0, the two choices give the same original or prescribed Mumford filling. At a potentially good additive fiber, None selects the original O(P−O) filling, while an explicit zero selects the good-reduction quotient with zero added twist. At a positive-index In* fiber the analogous distinction is between the original filling and the quadratic semistable-reduction quotient.

Result qualification

When the program reports “Topology of S6,” the supplied smooth geometric model has trivial computed fundamental group and the integral cohomology of S6. Realization of every abstract Oguiso–Shioda marking as a specified analytic family is a separate question.

Runtime database

The application uses a read-only table of 487 content-addressed local models. Each entry contains only the marked local cochain pair, the boundary comparison used by Mayer–Vietoris, peripheral relations for van Kampen, compact stalk data, and lookup metadata.

Expanded cellular models, reduction certificates, comparison homotopies, detailed derivations, and private validation inputs are maintained separately and are not published with the applet.
