We establish a relationship between mirror symmetry for K3 surfaces and Arnold's strange duality for K3 surfaces. We compute various examples of mirror families. Among them the mirror moduli family for the moduli space of degree 2n…

The aim of these notes is to acquaint the reader with important objects in complex algebraic geometry: K3 surfaces and their higher-dimensional analogs, hyperk\"ahler manifolds. These manifolds are interesting from several points of view:…

In this paper we study the second integral cohomology of moduli spaces of semistable sheaves on projective K3 surfaces. If $S$ is a projective K3 surface, $v$ a Mukai vector and $H$ a $v-$generic polarization on $S$, we show that…

We consider real forms of relatively minimal rational surfaces F_m. Connected components of moduli of real non-singular curves in |-2K_{F_m}| had been classified recently for m=0, 1, 4 in math.AG/0312396. Applying similar methods, here we…

We propose modifications to the commonly used definitions of lattice-polarized and lattice-quasipolarized smooth K3 surfaces, collecting various versions of the definition, and determining the effects of these choices on the resulting…

We discuss the connection between Picard-Fuchs equations for certain families of lattice polarized K3 surfaces and the construction of integrable holomorphic conformal structures on their period domains. We then compute an explicit example…

Tyurin degenerations of K3 surfaces are degenerations whose central fibre consists of a pair of rational surfaces glued along a smooth elliptic curve. We study the lattice theory of such Tyurin degenerations, establishing a notion of…

The Satake compactification of the moduli space of principally polarized abelian surfaces with a level two structure has a degree 8 endomorphism. The aim of this paper is to show that this result can be extended to other modular threefolds.…

For a smooth canonically embedded curve $C$ of genus $9$ together with a pencil $|L|$ of degree $6$, we study the relative canonical resolution of $C\subset X\subset \mathbb{P}^8$, where $X$ is the scroll swept out by the pencil $|L|$. We…

For the irreducible holomorphic symplectic eightfold Z associated to a cubic fourfold Y not containing a plane, we show that a natural Abel-Jacobi map from H^4_prim(Y) to H^2_prim(Z) is a Hodge isometry. We describe the full H^2(Z) in terms…

We discuss properties of the Seifert form for simple $K3$ singularities, and of the Picard lattices of families of weighted $K3$ surfaces. We study a collection $\mathcal{M}_{(\rho,\,\delta)}$ of $K3$ surfaces polarized by their Picard…

We investigate the interplay between the moduli spaces of ample <2>-polarized IHS manifolds of type K3^[2] and of IHS manifolds of type K3^[2] with a nonsymplectic involution with invariant lattice of rank one. In particular we…

We show that the Satake-Baily-Borel compactification of the moduli space of lattice polarized K3 surfaces parametrizing K3 surfaces of degree 2 with four rational double points of type $D_4$ is the projective 3-space. We also show that the…

An element in the Brauer group of a general complex projective $K3$ surface $S$ defines a sublattice of the transcendental lattice of $S$. We consider those elements of prime order for which this sublattice is Hodge-isometric to the…

In this note we define moduli functors of (primitively) polarized K3 spaces. We show that they are representable by Deligne-Mumford stacks over Spec(Z). Further, we look at K3 spaces with a level structure. Our main result is that the…

We give variants of lifting construction, which define new classes of modular forms on the Siegel upper half-space of complex dimension 3 with respect to the full paramodular groups (defining moduli of Abelian surfaces with arbitrary…

We generalize Nikulin's and Dolgachev's lattice-theoretical mirror symmetry for K3 surfaces to lattice polarized higher dimensional irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifolds. In the case of fourfolds of $K3^{\left[2\right]}-$type we then…

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…

Motivated by the relation between (twisted) K3 surfaces and special cubic fourfolds, we construct moduli spaces of polarized twisted K3 surfaces of any fixed degree and order. We do this by mimicking the construction of the moduli space of…

A strongly reflective modular form with respect to an orthogonal group of signature (2,n) determines a Lorentzian Kac--Moody algebra. We find a new geometric application of such modular forms: we prove that if the weight is larger than n…
