This paper proposes a new geometric construction of Enriques surfaces. Its starting point are K3 surfaces with jacobian elliptic fibration which arise from rational elliptic surfaces by a quadratic base change. The Enriques surfaces…

The tropical (p, q)-homology groups of Itenberg, Katzarkov, Mikhalkin and Zharkov are the tropical analogues of the Hodge decomposition of the cohomology of complex algebraic varieties. There is a well-defined intersection pairing on…

We classify Enriques involutions on a K3 surface, up to conjugation in the automorphism group, in terms of lattice theory. We enumerate such involutions on singular K3 surfaces with transcendental lattice of discriminant smaller than or…

Consider an arbitrary automorphism of an Enriques surface with its lift to the covering K3 surface. We prove a bound of the order of the lift acting on the anti-invariant cohomology sublattice of the Enriques involution. We use it to obtain…

McMullen proved that there exists an automorphism of minimal topological entropy on a projective K3 surface. We derive equations for the surface and its automorphism. We reconstruct the surface and its automorphism from the Hodge theoretic…

In this paper we further develop the theory of geometric tropicalization due to Hacking, Keel and Tevelev and we describe tropical methods for implicitization of surfaces. More precisely, we enrich this theory with a combinatorial formula…

We illustrate the use of tropical methods by generalizing a formula due to Abramovich and Bertram, extended later by Vakil. Namely, we exhibit relations between enumerative invariants of the Hirzebruch surfaces $\Sigma_n$ and…

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…

This paper classifies Enriques surfaces whose K3-cover is a fixed Picard-general Jacobian Kummer surface. There are exactly 31 such surfaces. We describe the free involutions which give these Enriques surfaces explicitly. As a biproduct, we…

We classify Enriques surfaces with smooth K3 cover and finite automorphism group in arbitrary positive characteristic. The classification is the same as over the complex numbers except that some types are missing in small characteristics.…

We analyze the structure of simply-connected Enriques surface in characteristic two whose K3-like covering is normal, building on the work of Ekedahl, Hyland and Shepherd-Barron. We develop general methods to construct such surfaces and the…

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…

Let $X$ be an Enriques surface. Using Beauville's result about the triviality of the Brauer map of $X$, we define a new involution on the category of coherent sheaves on the canonically covering K3 surface $\overline{X}$. We relate the…

We present tools and definitions to study abstract tropical manifolds in dimension 2, which we call simply tropical surfaces. This includes explicit descriptions of intersection numbers of 1-cycles, normal bundles to some curves and…

We conjecture an explicit formula for the $K$-theoretically refined Vafa-Witten invariants of the Enriques surface. By a wall-crossing argument the conjecture is equivalent to a new conjectural formula for the K-theoretically refined…

We compute endomorphism algebras of Kuga-Satake varieties associated to K3 surfaces.

Let S be a complex Enriques surface; it is the quotient of a K3 surface X by a fixed-point-free involution. The Brauer group Br(S) has a unique nonzero element. We describe its pull-back in Br(X), and show that the surfaces S for which it…

This is a brief introduction to the theory of Enriques surfaces over arbitrary algebraically closed fields. Some new results about automorphism groups of Enriques surfaces are also included.

This note contains preliminary calculation of topological types or real Enriques surfaces. We realize 59 topological types of real Enriques surfaces (Theorem 6) and show that all other topological types belong to the list of 21 topological…

This paper develops families of complex Enriques surfaces whose Brauer groups pull back identically to zero on the covering K3 surfaces. Our methods rely on isogenies with Kummer surfaces of product type. We offer both lattice theoretic and…
