We classify all the possible configurations of singular fibers and the torsion parts of Mordell-Weil groups of complex elliptic K3 surfaces. The complete list of 3279 configurations is attached.

This paper concerns complex algebraic K3 surfaces with an automorphism which acts trivially on the Neron-Severi group. Complementing a result by Vorontsov and Kondo, we determine those K3 surfaces where the order of the automorphism is a…

F-theory/heterotic duality is formulated in the stable degeneration limit of a K3 fibration on the F-theory side. In this note, we analyze the structure of the stable degeneration limit. We discuss whether stable degeneration exists for…

We show that, for each $n>0$, there is a family of elliptic surfaces which are covered by the square of a curve of genus $2n+1$, and whose Hodge structures have an action by ${\mathbb Q}(\sqrt{-n})$. By considering the case $n=3$, we show…

This is a systematic exposition of recent results which completely describe the group of automorphisms and the group of autoequivalences of generic analytic K3 surfaces. These groups, hard to determine in the algebraic case, admit a good…

We determine all complex K3 surfaces with Picard rank 20 over Q. Here the Neron-Severi group has rank 20 and is generated by divisors which are defined over Q. Our proof uses modularity, the Artin-Tate conjecture and class group theory.…

In an earlier paper we generalised the notion of the Tate-Shafarevich group of an elliptic K3 surface to the Tate-Shafarevich group of a polarised K3 surface. In the present note, we complement the result by proving that the…

We establish a relationship between mirror symmetry for K3 surfaces and Arnold's strange duality for K3 surfaces. We compute various examples of mirror families. Among them the mirror moduli family for the moduli space of degree 2n…

We prove that for any of a wide class of elliptic surfaces $X$ defined over a number field $k$, if there is an algebraic point on $X$ that lies on only finitely many rational curves, then there is an algebraic point on $X$ that lies on no…

To a pair of elliptic curves, one can naturally attach two K3 surfaces: the Kummer surface of their product and a double cover of it, called the Inose surface. They have prominently featured in many interesting constructions in algebraic…

We study the geometric quantization on $K3$ surfaces from the viewpoint of the spectral convergence. We take a special Lagrangian fibrations on the $K3$ surfaces and a family of hyper-K\"ahler structures tending to large complex structure…

We discuss logical links among uniformity conjectures concerning K3 surfaces and abelian varieties of bounded dimension defined over number fields of bounded degree. The conjectures concern the endomorphism algebra of an abelian variety,…

We construct non-geometric compactifications by using the F-theory dual of the heterotic string compactified on a two-torus, together with a close connection between Siegel modular forms of genus two and the equations of certain K3…

We prove rationality results for moduli spaces of elliptic K3 surfaces and elliptic rational surfaces with fixed monodromy groups.

We verify that elliptic K3 surfaces and algebraic groups have many rational points over function fields, i.e., they are geometrically special in the sense of Javanpeykar-Rousseau. We also show that under additional assumptions, this…

We consider the F-theory description of non-simply-connected gauge groups appearing in the E8 x E8 heterotic string. The analysis is closely tied to the arithmetic of torsion points on an elliptic curve. The general form of the…

Let X be a complex algebraic K3 surface or a supersingular K3 surface in odd characteristic. We present an algorithm by which, under certain assumptions on X, we can calculate a finite set of generators of the image of the natural…

We constructed several families of elliptic K3 surfaces with Mordell-Weil groups of ranks from 1 to 4. We studied F-theory compactifications on these elliptic K3 surfaces times a K3 surface. Gluing pairs of identical rational elliptic…

We construct nontrivial L-equivalence between curves of genus one and degree five, and between elliptic surfaces of multisection index five. These results give the first examples of L-equivalence for curves (necessarily over…

Given a symplectic involution $\iota$ on a K3 surface $X$, the desingularization $Y$ of $X/\iota$ is still a K3 surface, which in general has a different N\'eron--Severi group. Nevertheless, if the involution is induced by the translation…
