Abstract:

If a normal quintic surface is birational to a $K$-$3$ surface then it must contain from one to three triple points as its only essential singularities. A $K$-$3$ surface is the minimal model of a normal quintic surface with only one triple point if and only if it contains a nonsingular curve of genus two and a nonsingular rational curve crossing each other transversally. The minimal models of normal quintic $K$-$3$ surfaces with several triple points can also be characterized by the existence of some special divisors.
