Abstract

This paper investigates the Picard numbers of quintic surfaces. We give the first example of a complex quintic surface in P3 with maximum Picard number ρ = 45. We also investigate its arithmetic and determine the zeta function. Similar techniques are applied to produce quintic surfaces with several other Picard numbers that have not been achieved before.
