Abstract

Shimura curves are moduli spaces of abelian surfaces with quaternion multiplication. Models of Shimura curves are very important in number theory. Klein's icosahedral invariants A,B\mathfrak{A},\mathfrak{B} and C\mathfrak{C} give the Hilbert modular forms for 5\sqrt{5} via the period mapping for a family of K3K3 surfaces. Using the period mappings for several families of K3K3 surfaces, we obtain explicit models of Shimura curves with small discriminant in the weighted projective space Proj(C[A,B,C]){\rm Proj} (\mathbb{C}[\mathfrak{A},\mathfrak{B},\mathfrak{C}]).
