We study a K3 surface, which appears in the two-loop mixed electroweak-quantum chromodynamic virtual corrections to Drell--Yan scattering. A detailed analysis of the geometric Picard lattice is presented, computing its rank and discriminant…
The paper establishes a correspondence relating two specific classes of complex algebraic K3 surfaces. The first class consists of K3 surfaces polarized by the rank-sixteen lattice H+E_7+E_7. The second class consists of K3 surfaces…
We study the geometry of a class of $n$-dimensional smooth projective varieties constructed by Schreieder for their noteworthy Hodge-theoretic properties. In particular, we realize Schreieder's surfaces as elliptic modular surfaces and…
We classify Jacobian elliptic fibrations on K3 surfaces with a non-symplectic automorphism $\sigma$ of order 3 according to the action of $\sigma$ on their fibres, building on work by Garbagnati and Salgado for non-symplectic involutions.…
We consider a rational elliptic surface with a relatively minimal fibration. We compute the number of integral sections in the above rational elliptic surface. As an application, we obtain an estimate of polynomial solutions of some…
We study the structure of $\mathfrak{M}_2$, the set of half-dimensional collapsing spaces of hyperk\"ahler metrics on K3 surfaces. We show that $\mathfrak{M}_2$ consists precisely of those underlying metric spaces of integral singular…
We determine all complex K3 surfaces with Picard rank 20 over Q. Here the Neron-Severi group has rank 20 and is generated by divisors which are defined over Q. Our proof uses modularity, the Artin-Tate conjecture and class group theory.…
We first classify the possible configurations of fibrations which are not semi-stable on extremal elliptic K3 surfaces. Then we give a complete list of extremal elliptic K3 surfaces whose singular fibers are all not of type $I_n$.
We consider K3 surfaces of Picard rank 14 which admit a purely nonsymplectic automorphism of order 16. The automorphism acts on the second cohomology group with integer coefficients and we compute the invariant sublattice for the action. We…
This is a paper in smooth $4$-manifold topology, inspired by the N\'{e}ron-Lang Theorem in number theory. More precisely, we prove that a smooth version $\MW(\pi)$ of Mordell-Weil group of an elliptic fibration $\pi:M\to\Pb^1$ is finitely…
We prove that the weight-two Hodge structure of moduli spaces of torsion-free sheaves on a K3 surface is as described by Mukai (the rank is arbitrary but we assume the first Chern class is primitive). We prove the moduli space is an…
We examine the finite group actions on K3 and Abelian surfaces giving the same orbit space after desingularization. We show that when the group is not Z_2, then the Picard number of the K3 surface must be 19 or 20, and that in the latter…
We introduce the use of $p$-descent techniques for elliptic surfaces over a perfect field of characteristic not $2$ or $3$. Under mild hypotheses, we obtain an upper bound for the rank of a non-constant elliptic surface. When $p=2$, this…
We classify all the K3 surfaces which are minimal models of the quotient of the product of two curves $C_1\times C_2$ by the diagonal action of either the group $\Z/p\Z$ or the group $\Z/2p\Z$. These K3 surfaces admit a non-symplectic…
We consider the parametric family of elliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}$ of the form $E_{m} : y^{2} = x(x - n_{1})(x - n_{2}) + t^{2}$, where $n_{1}$, $n_{2}$ and $t$ are particular polynomial expressions in an integral variable $m$. In this…
We describe in terms of the j-invariant all elliptic surfaces pi: X -> C with a section, such that h^{1,1}(X)=rank NS(X) and the Mordell-Weil group of pi is finite. We use this to give a complete solution to infinitesimal Torelli for…
Recent work Bobienski-Nurowski on 5-dimensional Riemannian manifolds with an SO(3) structure prompts us to investigate which Lie groups admit such a geometry. The case in which the SO(3) structure admits a compatible connection with torsion…
We give a detailed discussion of the universal example of an elliptic curve equipped with a level three structure over a base on which three is invertible. This is intended as a convenient reference for applications in elliptic cohomology…
Even if there are too many elliptic fibrations to investigate and describe on the singular $K3$ surface $Y_{10}$ of discriminant 72 and belonging to the Ap\'ery-Fermi pencil $(Y_k)$, we find on it many interesting properties. For example…
A bidouble cover is a flat $G:=\left(\mathbb{Z}/2\mathbb{Z}\right)^2$-Galois cover $X \rightarrow Y$. In this situation there exist three intermediate quotients $Y_1,Y_2$ and $Y_3$ which correspond to the three subgroups…
