In each characteristic $p\neq 2, 3$, it was shown in a previous work that the order of an automorphism of a K3 surface is bounded by 66, if finite. Here, it is shown that in each characteristic $p\neq 2, 3$ a K3 surface with a cyclic action…
We survey recent results on ample cones and birational contractions of holomorphic symplectic varieties of K3 type, focusing on explicit constructions and concrete examples.
Derived equivalences of twisted K3 surfaces induce twisted Hodge isometries between them; that is, isomorphisms of their cohomologies which respect certain natural lattice structures and Hodge structures. We prove a criterion for when a…
This paper is concerned with the construction of extremal elliptic K3 surfaces. It gives a complete treatment of those fibrations which can be derived from rational elliptic surfaces by easy manipulations of their Weierstrass equations. In…
Classification of real K3 surfaces X with a non-symplectic involution \tau is considered. For some exactly defined and one of the weakest possible type of degeneration (giving the very reach discriminant), we show that the connected…
We interpret the ranks of the rational homotopy groups of a K3 surface as dimensions of representations for the largest sporadic simple Mathieu group. We then construct a vertex algebra equipped with an action by the largest Mathieu group,…
We construct a symplectic structure on a disc that admits a compactly supported symplectomorphism which is not smoothly isotopic to the identity. The symplectic structure has an overtwisted concave end; the construction of the…
We construct a modular compactification via stable slc pairs for the moduli spaces of K3 surfaces with a nonsymplectic group of automorphisms under the assumption that some combination of the fixed loci of automorphisms defines an effective…
We shall characterize the Fermat K3 surface, among all complex K3 surfaces, by means of its finite group symmetries.
In any characteristic different from 2 and 5, Kond\=o gave an example of a K3 surface with a purely non-symplectic automorphism of order 50. The surface was explicitly given as a double plane branched along a smooth sextic curve. In this…
Using results of our papers [19], [20] and [21] about classification of degenerations of Kahlerian K3 surfaces with finite symplectic automorphism groups, we classify Picard lattices of Kahlerian K3 surfaces. By classification we understand…
A hypergeometric group is a matrix group modeled on the monodromy group of a generalized hypergeometric differential equation. This article presents a fruitful interaction between the theory of hypergeometric groups and dynamics on K3…
We give a systematic method to calculate some homological data from the global monodromy of a topological elliptic surface. We apply this method to the cases 1) the transcendental lattice of an extremal elliptic K3 surface, 2) the torsion…
It was proved by Tien-Cuong Dinh and me that there is a smooth complex projective surface whose automorphism group is discrete and not finitely generated. In this paper, we will show that there is a smooth projective surface, birational to…
The aim of this paper is to give an explicit description of the fixed loci of symplectic automorphisms for certain hyperkahler manifolds, namely for Hilbert schemes on K3 surfaces and for generalized Kummer varieties. Here we extend our…
Banyaga has shown that the group of symplectomorphisms Symp(N) of a compact symplectic manifold (N,w) determines the symplectic structure. This motivates the study of the homotopy properties of Symp(N). Gromov has shown that the group of…
In this note we interpret a recent result of Gaberdiel, Hohenegger and Volpato in terms of derived equivalences of K3 surfaces. We prove that there is a natural bijection between subgroups of the Conway group Co_1 with invariant lattice of…
In many situations, the monodromy group of enumerative problems will be the full symmetric group. In this paper, we study a similar phenomenon on the rational curves in $|\mathcal{O}(1)|$ on a generic K3 surface of fixed genus over…
In this paper we present a classification of non-symplectic automorphisms of K3 surfaces whose order is a multiple of seven by describing the topological type of their fixed locus. In the case of purely non-symplectic automorphisms, we…
The aim of this paper is to show the rigidity of homologically trivial actions of prime order on K3 surfaces. To be precise, we show that homotopy K3 surfaces do not admit a periodic diffeomorphism of odd prime order 3 acting trivially on…
