A class of exact solutions of the Skyrme model are obtained. They are described by the Weierstrass $\wp$-function or the Jacobi elliptic function. They are not solitonic but of wave character. They supply us with examples of the…
Let $\mathbb{P}$ denote the weighted projective space with weights $(1,1,1,3)$ over the rationals, with coordinates $x,y,z,$ and $w$; let $\mathcal{X}$ be the generic element of the family of surfaces in $\mathbb{P}$ given by…
In this note we prove that the Beilinson conjecture holds for certain examples of K3 surfaces over $\bar {\mathbb{Q}}$ equipped with an involution, when the quotient of the surface by the involution is the projective plane branched along a…
We give a method for finding rational equations of genus 2 curves whose jacobians are abelian varieties $A_f$ attached by Shimura to normalized newforms $f \in S_2( \Gamma_0(N))$. We present all the curves corresponding to principally…
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 show that certain classes of K3 fibered Calabi-Yau manifolds derive from orbifolds of global products of K3 surfaces and particular types of curves. This observation explains why the gauge groups of the heterotic duals are determined by…
We compute the genus one family Gromov-Witten invariants of K3 surfaces for non-primitive classes. These calculations verify Gottsche-Yau-Zaslow formula for non-primitive classes with index two. Our approach is to use the genus two…
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…
We solve the analogue of Bj\"orling's problem for Willmore surfaces via a harmonic map representation. For the umbilic-free case the problem and solution are as follows: given a real analytic curve $y_0$ in $S^3$, together with the…
We use methods for computing Picard numbers of reductions of K3 surfaces in order to study the decomposability of Jacobians over number fields and the variance of Mordell-Weil ranks of families of Jacobians over different ground fields. For…
We describe two constructions of elliptic K3 surfaces starting from the Kummer surface of the Jacobian of a genus 2 curve. These parallel the base-change constructions of Kuwata for the Kummer surface of a product of two elliptic curves.…
Let $G$ be a finite abelian group which acts symplectically on a K3 surface. The N\'eron-Severi lattice of the projective K3 surfaces admitting $G$ symplectic action and with minimal Picard number is computed by Garbagnati and Sarti. We…
A rational elliptic surface with section is a smooth, rational, complex, projective surface $\mathcal{X}$ that admits a relatively minimal fibration $f: \mathcal{X}\longrightarrow \bbP^1$ such that its general fibre is a smooth irreducible…
By a theorem of Wahl, the canonically embedded curves which are hyperplane section of K3 surfaces are distinguished by the non-surjectivity of their Wahl map. In this paper we address the problem of distinguishing hyperplane sections of…
We give a classification of rotational cmc surfaces in non-Euclidean space forms in terms of explicit parametrizations using Jacobi elliptic functions. Our method hinges on a Lie sphere geometric description of rotational linear Weingarten…
The aim of this paper is to classify mildly singular Calabi-Yau threefolds fibred in low-degree weighted K3 surfaces and embedded as anticanonical hypersurfaces in weighted scrolls, extending results of Mullet. We also study projective…
In this work, we consider 2-surfaces in ${\mathbb R}^3$ arising from the modified Korteweg de Vries (mKdV) equation. We give a method for constructing the position vector of the mKdV surface explicitly for a given solution of the mKdV…
A construction of Calabi-Yaus as quotients of products of lower-dimensional spaces in the context of weighted hypersurfaces is discussed, including desingularisation. The construction leads to Calabi-Yaus which have a fiber structure, in…
This paper treats the theory of Mukai duality on K3 surfaces from the differential geometric perspective, taylored to the need of the author's companion paper about Mukai duality of adiabatic coassociative K3 fibrations.
We construct and study two series of curves whose Jacobians admit complex multiplication. The curves arise as quotients of Galois coverings of the projective line with Galois group metacyclic groups $G_{q,3}$ of order $3q$ with $q \equiv 1…
