We study K3 surfaces over non-closed fields and relate the notion of derived equivalence to arithmetic problems.

In this paper we classify complex K3 surfaces with non-symplectic automorphism of order 8 that leaves invariant a smooth elliptic curve. We show that the rank of the Picard group is either 10, 14 or 18 and the fixed locus is the disjoint…

The first published non-trivial examples of algebraic surfaces of general type with maximal Picard number are due to Persson, who constructed surfaces with maximal Picard number on the Noether line $K^2=2\chi-6$ for every admissible pair…

We show that there exists an automorphism of a projective K3 surface with Picard number $2$ such that the trace of its action on the Picard lattice is $3$. Together with a result of K. Hashimoto, J. Keum and K. Lee, we determine the set of…

We show the existence of 112 non-singular rational curves on the supersingular K3 surface with Artin invariant 1 in characteristic 3 by several ways. Using these rational curves, we have a $(16)_{10}$-configuration and a $(280_{4},…

We consider a real del Pezzo surface without points. We prove that the same surface over complex numbers field $\mathbb{C}$ has Picard number is at least two.

We report on our results concerning the distribution of the geometric Picard ranks of $K3$ surfaces under reduction modulo various primes. In the situation that $\rk \Pic S_{\overline{K}}$ is even, we introduce a quadratic character, called…

We take a first step towards the classification of singular Mori dream $K3$ surfaces. We prove that if the Picard lattice of a singular $K3$ surface is Mori dream, then the surface is Mori dream. Moreover, we show that for singular $K3$…

Kummer surfaces are special quartic surfaces that admit $16$ nodes. The automorphisms of K3 Kummer surfaces are rich and complicated. Based on the results of Keum and Kond\=o, and as a continuation of the recent result by He and Yang, we…

Let X be a K3 surface which is intersection of three (a net P^2) of quadrics in P^5. The curve of degenerate quadrics has degree 6 and defines a double covering of P^2 K3 surface Y ramified in this curve. This is a classical example of a…

In this paper we discuss the number of Enriques quotients of a fixed K3 surface. We prove the finiteness and unboundedness of the number. We also show an example of Kummer surface of product type where we can successfully classify all the…

Adapting methods of previous papers by A. Sarti and the author, we construct K3 surfaces from invariants of the Weyl group of type $\Erm_6$. We study in details one of these surfaces, which turns out to have Picard number $20$: for this…

Given a K3 surface X over a field of characteristic p, Artin conjectured that if X is supersingular (meaning infinite height) then its Picard rank is 22. Along with work of Nygaard-Ogus, this conjecture implies the Tate conjecture for K3…

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…

We find upper bounds, sharp in most cases, on the number of real hyperplane sections of real smooth polarized $K3$-surfaces that split into lines. Most bounds coincide with their complex counterparts.

We develop an algorithm detecting real representatives in equisingular strata of projective models of $K3$-surfaces. We apply this algorithm to spatial quartics and find two new examples of real strata without real representatives. As a…

We determine the Hodge endomorphism algebras of non-projective complex K3 surfaces (and more generally, hyperk\"ahler manifolds). We show that they are either totally real fields or number fields generated by Salem numbers. This is unlike…

We construct K3 surfaces over number fields that have good reduction everywhere. These do not exists over the rational numbers, by results of Abrashkin and Fontaine. Our surfaces exist for three quadratic number fields, and an infinite…

We develop a mixed-characteristic version of the Mori-Mukai technique for producing rational curves on K3 surfaces. We reduce modulo p, produce rational curves on the resulting K3 surface over a finite field, and lift to characteristic…

Based on the result on derived categories on K3 surfaces due to Mukai and Orlov and the result concerning almost-prime numbers due to Iwaniec, we remark the following fact: For any given positive integer N, there are N (mutually…
