The elliptic modular surface of level 4 is a complex K3 surface with Picard number 20. This surface has a model over a number field such that its reduction modulo 3 yields a surface isomorphic to the Fermat quartic surface in characteristic…

Generalizing a recent construction of Yang and Yu, we study to what extent one can intersect Hassett's Noether-Lefschetz divisors $\mathcal{C}_d$ in the moduli space of cubic fourfolds $\mathcal{C}$. In particular, we exhibit arithmetic…

Nikulin has classified all finite abelian groups acting symplectically on a K3 surface and he has shown that the induced action on the K3 lattice $U^3\oplus E_8(-1)^2$ depends only on the group but not on the K3 surface. For all the groups…

We study the moduli of elliptic K3 surfaces with a section with the $ADE$ rank 17. While the Picard number of a generic K3 surface in such moduli space is 19, the Picard number is enhanced to 20 at special points in the moduli. K3 surfaces…

We provide methods to construct explicit examples of $K3$ surfaces. This leads to unirational constructions of Noether--Lefschetz divisors inside the moduli space of $K3$ surfaces of genus $g$. We implement Mukai's unirationality…

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 give a description of the category of ordinary K3 surfaces over a finite field in terms of linear algebra data over Z. This gives an analogue for K3 surfaces of Deligne's description of the category of ordinary abelian varieties over a…

We construct examples of $K3$ surfaces of geometric Picard rank $1$. Our method is a refinement of that of R. van Luijk. It is based on an analysis of the Galois module structure on \'etale cohomology. This allows to abandon the original…

Let $X$ be an elliptic K3 surface endowed with two distinct Jacobian elliptic fibrations $\pi_i$, $i=1,2$, defined over a number field $k$. We prove that there is an elliptic curve $C\subset X$ such that the generic rank over $k$ of $X$…

We compute Mordell-Weil groups for extremal semistable elliptic fibrations of K3 surfaces

We describe a method to show that certain elliptic surfaces do not admit purely inseparable multisections (equivalently, that genus one curves over function fields admit no points over the perfect closure of the base field) and use it to…

A generic K3 surface of degree 2t is a general complex projective K3 surface whose Picard group is generated by the class of an ample divisor whose with respect to the intersection form is 2t. We show that if X is the Hilbert square of a…

In this paper, we prove, as the complex case, a supersingular K3 surface over a field of odd characteristic has an Enriques involution if and only if there exists a primitive embedding of the twice of the Enriques lattice into the…

We give a short proof that every supersingular K3 surface (except possibly in characteristic $2$ with Artin invariant $\sigma=10$) has an automorphism of Salem degree 22. In particular an infinite subgroup of the automorphism group does not…

We determine all possible orders of automorphisms of complex K3 surfaces. A positive integer N is the order of an automorphism of a complex K3 surface if and only if $\phi(N) \leq 20$ where $\phi$ is the Euler function.

We consider complex K3 surfaces with a non-symplectic group acting trivially on the algebraic cycles. Vorontsov and Kondo classified those K3 surfaces with transcendental lattice of minimal rank. The purpose of this note is to study the…

By the Mordell-Weil theorem the group of Q(z)-rational points of an elliptic curve is finitely generated. It is not known whether the rank of this group can get arbitrary large as the curve varies. Mestre and Nagao have constructed examples…

Let $\mathscr{X} \rightarrow C$ be a non-isotrivial and generically ordinary family of K3 surfaces over a proper curve $C$ in characteristic $p \geq 5$. We prove that the geometric Picard rank jumps at infinitely many closed points of $C$.…

We classify possible finite groups of symplectic automorphisms of K3 surfaces of order divisible by 11. The characteristic of the ground field must be equal to 11. The complete list of such groups consists of five groups: the cyclic group…

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…
