### Multiplicative excellent family of type $E_{6}$

Tetsuji Shioda

#### Abstract

We show that the equation (1) in the text defines a multiplicative excellent family of elliptic surfaces (or of cubic surfaces) with Galois group isomorphic to the Weyl group of type $E_{6}$. The main properties of the family are formulated as Theorems 1 and 2 in § 3.
