Let $X$ be a smooth projective surface such that linear and numerical equivalence of divisors on $X$ coincide and let $\sigma\subseteq |D|$ be a linear pencil on $X$ with integral general fibers. A fiber of $\sigma$ will be called special…

The aim of this paper is to give necessary and sufficient conditions for an integral polynomial to be the characteristic polynomial of a semi-simple isometry of some even unimodular lattice of given signature. This result has applications…

We introduce a new skein module for three manifolds based on properly embedded surfaces and their relations introduced by D.Bar-Natan, and modified by M.Khovanov. We compute the structure of the modules for some manifolds, including Seifert…

In this paper, we explore different possible choices of expanded degenerations and define appropriate stability conditions in order to construct good degenerations of Hilbert schemes of points over semistable degenerations of surfaces,…

In this note, we study the integral of the 1-form $\log x\frac{dy}{y}-\log y\frac{dx}{x}$ over certain plane curves defined by A-polynomials of knots. It is quite surprising that a Chern-Simons type invariant of 3-manifolds, which can be…

In the context of K3 mirror symmetry, the Greene-Plesser orbifolding method constructs a family of K3 surfaces, the mirror of quartic hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{P}^3$, starting from a special one-parameter family of K3 varieties known as the…

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…

Let $X$ be a very general degree $d\geq 5$ hypersurface in $\mathbb{P}^3$. We compute the ample cone of the Hilbert scheme $X^{[n]}$ of $n$ points on $X$ for various small values of $n$ (the answer is already known for large $n$). We obtain…

We extend work of Heath-Brown and Salberger, based on the determinant method, to provide a uniform upper bound for the number of integral points of bounded height on an affine surface, which are subject to a polynomial congruence condition.…

We introduce defects, with internal gauge symmetries, on a knot and Seifert surface to a knot into the combinatorial construction of finite gauge-group Dijkgraaf-Witten theory. The appropriate initial data for the construction are certain…

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…

We show the existence of a complex K3 surface $X$ which is not a Kummer surface and has a one-parameter family of Levi-flat hypersurfaces in which all the leaves are dense. We construct such $X$ by patching two open complex surfaces…

We exhibit automorphisms of a certain K3 surface in $\mathbb{P}^1\times \mathbb{P}^1 \times \mathbb{P}^1$ with an isolated fixed point at which the induced action on the stalk of the structure sheaf is arbitrarily close to the identity.…

Nikulin and Vinberg proved that there are only a finite number of lattices of rank $\geq 3$ that are the N\'eron-Severi group of projective K3 surfaces with a finite automorphism group. The aim of this paper is to provide a more geometric…

We give a constructive proof of the Hodge conjecture for complex $K3$ surfaces that does not rely on Torelli-type results. Starting with an arbitrary rational $(1,1)$-class $\alpha\in H^{1,1}(X,\mathbb{Q})$, we algorithmically build a…

Let $X\subset \P^5$ be a smooth cubic fourfold. A well known conjecture asserts that $X$ is rational if and only if there an Hodge theoretically associated K3 surface $S$. The surface $S$ can be associated to $X$ in two other different…

In (equi-)affine differential geometry, the most important algebraic invariants are the affine (Blaschke) metric h, the affine shape operator S and the difference tensor K. A hypersurface is said to admit a pointwise symmetry if at every…

For a K3 surface S, consider the subring of CH(S^n) generated by divisor and diagonal classes (with Q-coefficients). Voisin conjectures that the restriction of the cycle class map to this ring is injective. We prove that Voisin's conjecture…

This work gives a manual for constructing superconformal field theories associated to a family of smooth K3 surfaces. A direct method is not known, but a combination of orbifold techniques with a non-classical duality turns out to yield…

In this paper we describe six pencils of K3-surfaces which have large Picard-Number and contain precisely five singular fibers: four have A-D-E singularities and one is non-reduced. In particular we describe these surfaces as cyclic…
