Suppose that $f:X\to C$ is a general Jacobian elliptic surface over the complex numbers. Then the primitive cohomology $H^{1,1}_{prim}(X)$ has, up to a sign, a natural orthonormal basis $(\eta_i)_{i\in [1, N]}$ given by certain meromorphic…

We compute characteristic numbers of elliptically fibered fourfolds with multisections or non-trivial Mordell-Weil groups. We first consider the models of type E$_{9-d}$ with $d=1,2,3,4$ whose generic fibers are normal elliptic curves of…

We introduce a new model for elliptic fibrations endowed with a Mordell-Weil group of rank one. We call it a Q$_7(\mathscr{L},\mathscr{S})$ model. It naturally generalizes several previous models of elliptic fibrations popular in the…

We determine explicit birational models over Q for the modular surfaces parametrising pairs of N-congruent elliptic curves in all cases where this surface is an elliptic surface. In each case we also determine the rank of the Mordell-Weil…

We give all the elliptic fibrations of the K3 surface associated to the modular group \Gamma_1(8).

A conjecture by Corvaja and Zannier predicts that smooth, projective, simply connected varieties over a number field with Zariski dense set of rational points have the Hilbert Property; this was proved by Demeio for Kummer surfaces which…

In this paper, we study the classical theory of quadratic line complexes and Kummer surfaces. A quadratic line complex is the intersection of the Grassmannian $G(2,4)$ and a quadric hypersurface in ${\bf P}^5$, and a Kummer surface is the…

We compute the subgroup of the monodromy group of a generalized Kummer variety associated to equivalences of derived categories of abelian surfaces. The result was previously announced in arXiv:1201.0031. Mongardi showed that the subgroup…

L. Moret-Bailly constructed families $\mathfrak{C}\rightarrow \mathbb{P}^1$ of genus 2 curves with supersingular jacobian. In this paper we first classify the reducible fibers of a Moret-Bailly family using linear algebra over a quaternion…

Let $f: W \rightarrow T$ be an elliptic threefold that is a Weierstrass model, which is locally defined by $y^2 = x^3 + fx + g$ over $T$, with a singular fiber such that $(f,g,4f^3 + 27g^2)$ vanishes of order $(4,6,12)$ over an isolated…

We study fibrations by elliptic curves and K3 surfaces of double octic Calabi-Yau threefolds determined by singular lines and points of multiplicity at least 4 of the defining octic arrangement. As a consequence we conclude that every…

We investigate complex surfaces that fiber over Teichm\"uller curves where the generic fiber is a Veech surface. When the fiber has genus one, these surfaces are elliptic fibrations; for higher genus fibers, they are typically minimal…

We determine a simple expression of the Picard-Fuchs system for a family of Kummer surfaces for all principally polarized Abelian surfaces. It is given by a system of linear partial differential equations in three variables of rank five.…

We study the Diophantine equation $a^5+b^5=c^5+d^5$ under the linear slicing constraint $(c+d)-(a+b)=h$. We first prove the necessary congruence $30\mid h$. After symmetrization, the associated discriminant equation defines, for each fixed…

Elliptic Calabi-Yau fibrations with Mordell-Weil group of rank two are constructed. Such geometries are the basis for F-theory compactifications with two abelian gauge groups in addition to non-abelian gauge symmetry. We present the…

Barth and Peters showed that a general complex Enriques surface has exactly 527 isomorphism classes of elliptic fibrations. We show that every Enriques surface has precisely 527 isomorphism classes of elliptic fibrations when counted with…

We study threefolds X in a projective space having as hyperplane section a smooth surface with an elliptic fibration. We first give a general theorem about the possible embeddings of such surfaces with Picard number two. More precise…

In the present paper we consider fibrations $f: S \ra B$ of an algebraic surface onto a curve $B$, with general fibre a curve of genus $g$. Our main results are: 1) A structure theorem for such fibrations in the case $g=2$ 2) A structure…

The aim of this paper is to describe the geometry of the generic Kummer surface associated to a $(1,2)$-polarized abelian surface. We show that it is the double cover of a weak del Pezzo surface and that it inherits from the del Pezzo…

We analyze K3 surfaces admitting an elliptic fibration $E$ and a finite group $G$ of symplectic automorphisms preserving this elliptic fibration. We construct the quotient elliptic fibration $E/G$ comparing its properties to the ones of…
