K3 Surfaces and Orthogonal Modular Forms

Algebraic Geometry 2026-01-14 v2 Number Theory

Abstract

We determine explicit generators for the ring of modular forms associated with the moduli spaces of K3 surfaces with automorphism group (Z/2Z)2(\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z})^2 and of Picard rank 13 and higher. The K3 surfaces in question carry a canonical Jacobian elliptic fibration and the modular form generators appear as coefficients in the Weierstrass-type equations describing these fibrations.
