Hodge numbers of a double octic with non-isolated singularities
If B is a surface in ℙ³ of degree 8 which is the union of two smooth surfaces intersecting transversally then the double covering of ℙ³ branched along B has a non-singular model which is a Calabi-Yau manifold. The aim of this note is to compute the Hodge numbers of this manifold.
