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…
Self-rational maps of generic algebraic K3 surfaces are conjectured to be trivial. We relate this conjecture to a conjecture concerning the irreducibility of the universal Severi varieties parametrizing nodal curves of given genus and…
We study complex algebraic K3 surfaces with finite automorphism groups and polarized by rank-fourteen, 2-elementary lattices. Three such lattices exist, namely $H \oplus E_8(-1) \oplus A_1(-1)^{\oplus 4}$, $H \oplus E_8(-1) \oplus D_4(-1)$,…
This paper is a survey about $K3$ surfaces with an automorphism and log rational surfaces, in particular, log del Pezzo surfaces and log Enriques surfaces. It is also a reproduction on my talk at "Mathematical structures of integrable…
We prove that the moduli space of smooth primitively polarized $\mathrm{K3}$ surfaces of genus 33 is unirational.
An asymptotic formula is established for the number of rational points of bounded anticanonical height which lie on a certain Zariski open subset of an arbitrary smooth biquadratic hypersurface in sufficiently many variables. The proof uses…
Given a dominant rational self-map on a projective variety over a number field, we can define the arithmetic degree at a rational point. It is known that the arithmetic degree at any point is less than or equal to the first dynamical…
In arXiv:1008.3825, Totaro gave examples of a K3 surface such that its automorphism group is not commensurable with an arithmetic group, answering a question of Mazur. We give examples of rational surfaces with the same property. Our…
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…
We report on our project to find explicit examples of $K3$ surfaces having real or complex multiplication. Our strategy is to search through the arithmetic consequences of RM and CM. In order to do this, an efficient method is needed for…
The geometry of closed surfaces equipped with a Euclidean metric with finitely many conical points of arbitrary angle is studied. The main result is that the set of closed geodesics is dense in the space of geodesics.
We prove that elliptic K3 surfaces over a number field which admit a second elliptic fibration satisfy the potential Hilbert property. Equivalently, the set of their rational points is not thin after a finite extension of the base field.…
We study the moduli space of Hessian K3 surfaces as arithmetic quotients.
We prove that the moduli spaces of K3 surfaces with non-symplectic involution are rational for four deformation types. With the previous results, this establishes the rationality of those moduli spaces except two classical cases.
We study Glois embeddings of K3 surfaces in the case where the Galois groups are abelian. We show several properties of K3 surfaces concerning the Galois embeddings. In particular, if the Galois group G is abelian, then G is isomorphic to…
Let $\mathscr{X} \rightarrow C$ be a non-isotrivial and generically ordinary family of K3 surfaces over a proper curve $C$ in characteristic $p \geq 5$. We prove that the geometric Picard rank jumps at infinitely many closed points of $C$.…
A series of Zariski pairs and four Zariski triplets were found by using lattice theory of K3 surfaces. There is a Zariski triplet of which one member is a deformation of another.
We prove that there are at most $(24-r_0)$ low-degree rational curves on high-degree models of K3 surfaces with at most Du Val singularities, where $r_0$ is the number of exceptional divisors on the minimal resolution. We also provide…
This survey paper concerns elliptic surfaces with section. We give a detailed overview of the theory including many examples. Emphasis is placed on rational elliptic surfaces and elliptic K3 surfaces. To this end, we particularly review the…
We show under the assumption that the Tate-Shafarevich group of any elliptic curve over the rational numbers is finite that the cubic surface $x_1^3 + p_1p_2x_2^3 + p_2p_3x_3^3 + p_3p_1x_4^3 = 0$ has a rational point, where $p_1, p_2$ and…
