A gluing construction of K3 surfaces

Complex Variables 2023-07-03 v2 Algebraic Geometry

Abstract

We develop a new method for constructing K3 surfaces. We construct such a K3 surface XX by patching two open complex surfaces obtained as the complements of tubular neighborhoods of elliptic curves embedded in blow-ups of the projective planes at general nine points. Our construction has 1919 complex dimensional degrees of freedom. For general parameters, the K3 surface XX is neither Kummer nor projective. By the argument based on the concrete computation of the period map, we also investigate which points in the period domain correspond to K3 surfaces obtained by such construction.
