The goal of the present paper is two-fold. First, we present a classification of algebraic K3 surfaces polarized by the lattice H+E_8+E_7. Key ingredients for this classification are: a normal form for these lattice polarized K3 surfaces, a…
We study complex algebraic K3 surfaces with finite automorphism groups and polarized by rank-fourteen, 2-elementary lattices. Three such lattices exist, namely $H \oplus E_8(-1) \oplus A_1(-1)^{\oplus 4}$, $H \oplus E_8(-1) \oplus D_4(-1)$,…
We construct geometric isogenies between three types of two-parameter families of K3 surfaces of Picard rank 18. One is the family of Kummer surfaces associated with Jacobians of genus-two curves admitting an elliptic involution, another is…
We study the class of complex algebraic K3 surfaces admitting an embedding of H+E8+E8 inside the Neron-Severi lattice. These special K3 surfaces are classified by a pair of modular invariants, in the same manner that elliptic curves over…
We study K3 surfaces of degree 6 containing two sets of 12 skew lines such that each line from a set intersects exactly six lines from the other set. These surfaces arise as hyperplane sections of the cubic line complex associated with the…
In this paper we show that there is a correspondence between some $K3$ surfaces with non-isometric transcendental lattices constructed as a twist of the transcendental lattice of the Jacobian of a generic genus 2 curve. Moreover, we show…
For certain K3 surfaces, there are two constructions of mirror symmetry that are very different. The first, known as BHK mirror symmetry, comes from the Landau-Ginzburg model for the K3 surface; the other, known as LPK3 mirror symmetry, is…
We study hyperplane sections of smooth polarized $K3$-surfaces that split into unions of lines. We describe the dual adjacency graphs of such sections and find sharp upper bounds on their number. In most cases (starting from degree $6$), we…
We consider a semistable degeneration of K3 surfaces, equipped with an effective divisor that defines a polarisation of degree two on a general fibre. We show that the map to the relative log canonical model of the degeneration maps every…
We construct a K3 surface over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2 which contains two sets of 21 disjoint smooth rational curves such that each curve from one set intersects exactly 5 curves from the other set. This…
We classify prime order isogenies between algebraic K3 surfaces whose rational transcendental Hodges structures are not isometric. The morphisms of Hodge structures induced by these isogenies are correspondences by algebraic classes on the…
We study a two-parameter family of K3 surfaces of (generic) Picard rank $18$ which is mirror to the $18$-dimensional family of elliptically fibered K3 surfaces with a section. Members of this family are given as compactifications 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…
The aim of this paper is to construct "special" isogenies between K3 surfaces, which are not Galois covers between K3 surfaces, but are obtained by composing cyclic Galois covers, induced by quotients by symplectic automorphisms. We…
These notes will give an introduction to the theory of K3 surfaces. We begin with some general results on K3 surfaces, including the construction of their moduli space and some of its properties. We then move on to focus on the theory of…
In this paper we study the automorphisms group of some K3 surfaces which are double covers of the projective plane ramified over a smooth sextic plane curve. More precisely, we study some particlar case of a K3 surface of Picard rank two.
We study a family of lattice polarized $K3$ surfaces which is an extension of the family of Kummer surfaces derived from principally polarized Abelian surfaces. Our family has two special properties. First, it is coming from a resolution of…
The geometric objects of study in this paper are K3 surfaces which admit a polarization by the unique even unimodular lattice of signature (1,17). A standard Hodge-theoretic observation about this special class of K3 surfaces is that their…
Let us consider the rank 14 lattice $P=D_4^3\oplus < -2> \oplus < 2>$. We define a K3 surface S of type P with the property that $P\subset {\rm Pic}(S) $, where ${\rm Pic}(S) $ indicates the Picard lattice of S. In this article we study the…
Using toric geometry, lattice theory, and elliptic surface techniques, we compute the Picard Lattice of certain K3 surfaces. In particular, we examine the generic member of each of M. Reid's list of 95 families of Gorenstein K3 surfaces…
