Counting lines on projective surfaces

Abstract: In the last decade most questions concerning line configurations on degree-four surfaces in three-dimensional projective space have been answered. In contrast, far less is known in the case of degree-d surfaces for d>4 even in complex case. In my talk I will discuss the best known bound for number of lines on degree-d surfaces in three-dimensional projective space (based on joint work with Thomas Bauer and Matthias Schuett).
