We construct explicit examples of $K3$ surfaces over ${\mathbb Q}$ having real multiplication. Our examples are of geometric Picard rank 16. The standard method for the computation of the Picard rank provably fails for the surfaces…
We determine the automorphism group of an open log K3 surface with irreducible boundary.
We show that the action of Cremona transformations on the real points of quadrics exhibits the full complexity of the diffeomorphisms of the sphere, the torus, and of all non-orientable surfaces. The main result says that if X is rational,…
We study a two-parameter family of K3 surfaces of (generic) Picard rank $18$ which is mirror to the $18$-dimensional family of elliptically fibered K3 surfaces with a section. Members of this family are given as compactifications of…
We study Cox rings of K3-surfaces. A first result is that a K3-surface has a finitely generated Cox ring if and only if its effective cone is polyhedral. Moreover, we investigate degrees of generators and relations for Cox rings of…
We construct an explicit K3 surface over the field of rational numbers that has geometric Picard rank one, and for which there is a transcendental Brauer-Manin obstruction to weak approximation. To do so, we exploit the relationship between…
Let $G$ be a finite abelian group which acts symplectically on a K3 surface. The N\'eron-Severi lattice of the projective K3 surfaces admitting $G$ symplectic action and with minimal Picard number is computed by Garbagnati and Sarti. We…
We study K3 surfaces of degree 6 containing two sets of 12 skew lines such that each line from a set intersects exactly six lines from the other set. These surfaces arise as hyperplane sections of the cubic line complex associated with the…
We study generators and relations of Cox rings of K3 surfaces of Picard number two. In particular we consider the Cox rings of classical examples of K3 surfaces, such as quartic surfaces containing a line and elliptic K3 surfaces.
The present work completes the classification of the compact Riemann surfaces of genus g with an analytic automorphism of order p (prime number) and p > g. More precisely, we construct a parameteriza- tion space for them, we compute their…
By the fundamental result of I.I. Piatetsky-Shapiro and I.R. Shafarevich (1971), the automorphism group Aut(X) of a K3 surface X over C and its action on the Picard lattice S_X are prescribed by the Picard lattice S_X. We use this result…
We prove that the automorphism group of Hilbert square of a Cayley's K3 surface of Picard number 2 is the free product of three cyclic groups of order two. The generators are three Beauville involutions.
We show that the classical Fermat quartic has exactly three smooth spatial models. As a generalization, we give a classification of smooth spatial (as well as some other) models of singular $K3$-surfaces of small discriminant. As a…
In the first part we survey some of the known results and conjectures on compact Hyperkaehler (HK) manifolds. In the second part we presents a program which aims to show that HK four-folds whose second cohomology (with 4-tuple cup-product)…
We discuss some aspects of the behavior of specialization at a finite place of N\'eron-Severi groups of K3 surfaces over number fields. We give optimal lower bounds for the Picard number of such specializations, thus answering a question of…
We construct geometric isogenies between three types of two-parameter families of K3 surfaces of Picard rank 18. One is the family of Kummer surfaces associated with Jacobians of genus-two curves admitting an elliptic involution, another is…
Over an algebraically closed field, various finiteness results are known regarding the automorphism group of a K3 surface and the action of the automorphisms on the Picard lattice. We formulate and prove versions of these results over…
We use automorphic forms to prove that a compact family of Kaehler K3 surfaces with constant Picard number is isotrivial.
We present finite sets of generators of the full automorphism groups of three singular K3 surfaces, on which the alternating group of degree 6 acts symplectically. We also present a finite set of generators of the full automorphism group of…
The article revisits birational and biregular automorphisms of the Hilbert scheme of points on a K3 surface from the perspective of derived categories. Under the assumption that the K3 surface is generic, the birational and biregular…
