The surfaces considered are real, rational and have a unique smooth real $(-2)$-curve. Their canonical class $K$ is strictly negative on any other irreducible curve in the surface and $K^2>0$. For surfaces satisfying these assumptions, we…

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…

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…

In this thesis we study singular curves on K3 surfaces. Let $\mathcal{B}_g$ denote the stack of polarised K3 surfaces of genus $g$ and set $p(g,k)=k^2(g-1)+1$. There is a stack $ \mathcal{T}^n_{g,k} \to \mathcal{B}_g$ with fibre over the…

We prove the irreducibility of the moduli space of rank 2 semistable torsion free sheaves (with a generic polarization and any value of c_2) on a K3 or a del Pezzo surface. In the case of a K3 surface, we need to prove a result on the…

In this survey we discuss the problem of the existence of rational curves on complex surfaces, both in the K\"ahler and non-K\"ahler setup. We systematically go through the Enriques--Kodaira classification of complex surfaces to highlight…

We use the Brill-Noether theory to prove the Green conjecture for exceptional curves on K3 surfaces. Such curves count among the few ones having Clifford dimension at least three. We obtain our result by adopting an infinitesimal approach…

In this paper, we study the Brill-Noether theory of the normalizations of singular, irreducible curves on a $K3$ surface. We introduce a {\em singular} Brill-Noether number $\rho_{sing}$ and show that if the Picard group of the K3 surface…

We study the projective models of complex K3 surfaces polarized by a line bundle L such that all smooth curves in |L| have non-general Clifford index. Such models are in a natural way contained in rational normal scrolls. We use this study…

We study complex algebraic K3 surfaces of Picard ranks 11,12, and 13 of finite automorphism group that admit a Jacobian elliptic fibration with a section of order two. We prove that the K3 surfaces admit a birational model isomorphic to a…

The notion of constant cycle curves on K3 surfaces is introduced. These are curves that do not contribute to the Chow group of the ambient K3 surface. Rational curves are the most prominent examples. We show that constant cycle curves…

This article wants to show two things: first, that certain problems in Diophantus' Arithmetica lead to equations defining del Pezzo surfaces or other rational surfaces, while certain others lead to K3 surfaces; second, that Diophantus' own…

Let C be a general element in the locus of curves in M_g lying on some K3 surface, where g is congruent to 3 mod 4 and greater than or equal to 15. Following Mukai's ideas, we show how to reconstruct the K3 surface as a Fourier-Mukai…

We prove that any non-isotrivial elliptic K3 surface over an algebraically closed field $k$ of arbitrary characteristic contains infinitely many rational curves. In the case when $\mathrm{char}(k)\neq 2,3$, we prove this result for any…

This paper is concerned with the construction of extremal elliptic K3 surfaces. It gives a complete treatment of those fibrations which can be derived from rational elliptic surfaces by easy manipulations of their Weierstrass equations. In…

Let X be a K3 surface with an involution g which has non-empty fixed locus X^g and acts non-trivially on a non-zero holomorphic 2-form. We shall construct all such pairs (X, g) in a canonical way, from some better known double coverings of…

We show that on every elliptic K3 surface $X$ there are rational curves $(R_i)_{i\in \mathbb{N}}$ such that $R_i^2 \to \infty$, i.e., of unbounded arithmetic genus. Moreover, we show that the union of the lifts of these curves to…

Lazarsfeld proved Brill--Noether generality of any smooth curve in the linear system $|H|$ where $(X,H)$ is a polarized K3 surface with $\mathrm{Pic}(X) = \mathbb{Z}\cdot H$. Mukai introduced the notion of Brill--Noether generality for…

We show that projective K3 surfaces with odd Picard rank contain infinitely many rational curves. Our proof extends the Bogomolov-Hassett-Tschinkel approach, i.e., uses moduli spaces of stable maps and reduction to positive characteristic.

These notes will give an introduction to the theory of K3 surfaces. We begin with some general results on K3 surfaces, including the construction of their moduli space and some of its properties. We then move on to focus on the theory of…
