We study isogeny relations between K3 surfaces and Kummer surfaces. Specifically, we prove a Torelli-type theorem for the existence of rational maps from K3 surfaces to Kummer surfaces, and a Kummer sandwich theorem for K3 surfaces with…

Let $X$ be a normal crossing compact complex surface with triple points. We prove that there exists a family of smoothings of $X$ when $X$ satisfies suitable conditions. Since our differential geometric proof also includes the case where…

We discuss K3 surfaces in characteristic two that contain the Kummer configuration formed by smooth rational curves on it.

The existence of a Kodaira fibration, i.e., of a fibration of a compact complex surface $S$ onto a complex curve $B$ which is a differentiable but not a holomorphic bundle, forces the geographical slope $ \nu(S) = c_1^2 (S) / c_2 (S)$ to…

In this paper we study the second integral cohomology of moduli spaces of semistable sheaves on projective K3 surfaces. If $S$ is a projective K3 surface, $v$ a Mukai vector and $H$ a $v-$generic polarization on $S$, we show that…

We continue the program of classification of normal Q-acyclic surfaces defined over the field of complex numbers, so-called 'Q-homology planes'. Here we show that if a Q-homology plane has negative Kodaira dimension then its smooth locus is…

Let us consider the rank 14 lattice $P=D_4^3\oplus < -2> \oplus < 2>$. We define a K3 surface S of type P with the property that $P\subset {\rm Pic}(S) $, where ${\rm Pic}(S) $ indicates the Picard lattice of S. In this article we study the…

We study threefolds fibred by K3 surfaces admitting a lattice polarization by a certain class of rank 19 lattices. We begin by showing that any family of such K3 surfaces is completely determined by a map from the base of the family to the…

The paper establishes a correspondence relating two specific classes of complex algebraic K3 surfaces. The first class consists of K3 surfaces polarized by the rank-sixteen lattice H+E_7+E_7. The second class consists of K3 surfaces…

We consider the singuralities of 2-dimensional moduli spaces of semi-stable sheaves on K3 surfaces. We show that the moduli space is normal, in particular the singuralities are rational double points. We also describe the exceptional locus…

A K3 surface is a quaternionic analogue of an elliptic curve from a view point of moduli of vector bundles. We can prove the algebraicity of certain Hodge cycles and a rigidity of curve of genus eleven and gives two kind of descriptions of…

Enriques surfaces are minimal surfaces of Kodaira dimension $0$ with $b_{2}=10$. If we work with a field of characteristic away from $2$, Enriques surfaces admit double covers which are K3 surfaces. In this paper, we prove the Shafarevich…

We analyze the structure of the algebraic manifolds $Y$ of dimension 3 with $H^i(Y, \Omega^j_Y)=0$ for all $j\geq 0$, $i>0$ and $h^0(Y, {\mathcal{O}}_Y) > 1$, by showing the deformation invariant of some open surfaces. Secondly, we show…

Following an idea of Ishida, we develop polynomial equations for certain unramified double covers of surfaces with p_g=q=1 and K^2=2. Our first main result provides an explicit surface surface X with these invariants defined over Q that has…

In this article, we study K3 double structures on minimal rational surfaces $Y$. The results show there are infinitely many non-split abstract K3 double structures on $Y = \mathbb{F}_e$ parametrized by $\mathbb P^1$, countably many of which…

In this paper we give a characterization of the height of K3 surfaces in positive characteristic. This enables us to calculate the cycle classes of the loci in families of K3 surfaces where the height is at least h. The formulas for such…

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 show that the Hodge numbers of the moduli space of stable rank two sheaves with primitive determinant on a K3 surface coincide with the Hodge numbers of an appropriate Hilbert scheme of points on the K3 surface. The precise result is:…

Let $X$ be a K3 surface, and $H$ its primitive polarization of the degree $H^2=8$. The moduli space of sheaves over $X$ with the isotropic Mukai vector $(2,H,2)$ is again a K3 surface, $Y$. In math.AG/0206158 we gave necessary and…

We describe the possible 3-divisible $A_2^n$ configurations of smooth rational curves on K3 surfaces in characteristic 3 and fully classify the resulting triple covers.
