We study families of $K3$ surfaces obtained by double covering of the projective plane branching along curves of $(2,3)$-torus type. In the first part, we study the Picard lattices of the families, and a lattice duality of them. In the…

We compute entropies in a large family of K3 surface automorphisms in (P^1)^3. In keeping with a result by Xie, we find that the entropies vary in a lower semi-continuous manner as the Picard ranks of the K3 surfaces vary.

We study differential equations satisfied by modular forms associated to $\Gamma_1\times\Gamma_2$, where $\Gamma_i (i=1,2)$ are genus zero subgroups of $SL_2(\mathbf R)$ commensurable with $SL_2(\mathbf Z)$, e.g., $\Gamma_0(N)$ or…

The subject of this paper is the study of various families of quartic K3 surfaces which are invariant under a certain $(\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z})^{4}$ action. In particular, we describe families whose general member contains $8,16,24$ or $32$…

We study in detail mirror symmetry for the quartic K3 surface in P3 and the mirror family obtained by the orbifold construction. As explained by Aspinwall and Morrison, mirror symmetry for K3 surfaces can be entirely described in terms of…

Using the theory of holes of the Leech lattice and Borcherds method for the computation of the automorphism group of a K3 surface, we give an effective bound for the set of isomorphism classes of projective models of fixed degree for…

We study non-isotrivial families of $K3$ surfaces in positive characteristic $p$ whose geometric generic fibers satisfy $\rho\geq21-2h$ and $h\geq3$, where $\rho$ is the Picard number and $h$ is the height of the formal Brauer group. We…

In this paper we describe six pencils of K3-surfaces which have large Picard-Number and contain precisely five singular fibers: four have A-D-E singularities and one is non-reduced. In particular we describe these surfaces as cyclic…

In this article we study the period map for a family of $K3$ surfaces which is given by the anticanonial divisor of a toric variety. We determine the period differential equation and its monodromy group. Moreover we show the exact relation…

Let X be a complex algebraic K3 surface or a supersingular K3 surface in odd characteristic. We present an algorithm by which, under certain assumptions on X, we can calculate a finite set of generators of the image of the natural…

Motivated by a problem originating in string theory, we study elliptic fibrations on K3 surfaces with large Picard number modulo isomorphism. We give methods to determine upper bounds for the number of inequivalent K3 surfaces sharing the…

In this paper we are concerned with the monodromy of Picard-Fuch differential equations associated with one-parameter families of Calabi-Yau threefolds. Our results show that in the hypergeometric cases the matrix representations of…

Some of the 95 families of weighted K3 hypersurfaces have been known to have the isometric lattice polarizations. It is shown that weighted K3 hypersurfaces in such families are to one-to-one correspond by explicitly constructing the…

We show the finiteness of the N\'eron-Severi lattices of complex projective K3 surfaces whose automorphism groups are non-elementary hyperbolic with explicit descriptions, under the assumption that the Picard number $\ge 6$ which is optimal…

This is a systematic exposition of recent results which completely describe the group of automorphisms and the group of autoequivalences of generic analytic K3 surfaces. These groups, hard to determine in the algebraic case, admit a good…

We study the geometry of the K3 surfaces $X$ with a finite number automorphisms and Picard number $\geq 3$. We describe these surfaces classified by Nikulin and Vinberg as double covers of simpler surfaces or embedded in a projective space.…

We describe an algorithm for computing the Picard-Fuchs equation for a family of twists of a fixed elliptic surface. We then apply this algorithm to obtain the equation for several examples, which are coming from families of Kummer surfaces…

It is known that the automorphism group of any projective K3 surface is finitely generated [24]. In this paper, we consider a certain kind of K3 surfaces with Picard number 3 whose automorphism groups are isomorphic to congruence subgroups…

We introduce a sequence of families of lattice polarized $K3$ surfaces. This sequence is closely related to complex reflection groups of exceptional type. Namely, we obtain modular forms coming from the inverse correspondences of the period…

We show that there exists an automorphism of a projective K3 surface with Picard number $2$ such that the trace of its action on the Picard lattice is $3$. Together with a result of K. Hashimoto, J. Keum and K. Lee, we determine the set of…
