To any graded Frobenius algebra A we associate a sequence of graded Frobenius algebras A^[n] in such a way that for any smooth projective surface X with trivial canonical divisor there is a canonical isomorphism of rings between (H*X)^[n]…
We give a mathematical computation of the number of solutions of Apollonius problem, by use of Lie Sphere Geometry. Unlike in higher dimensions, the number of solutions depends only on the topology of the configuration of the 3 objects. It…
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.
Double planes branched in 6 lines give a famous example of K3 surfaces. Their moduli are well understood and related to abelian fourfolds of Weil type. We compare these two moduli interpretations and in particular divisors on the moduli…
Apollonian circle packings arise by repeatedly filling the interstices between four mutually tangent circles with further tangent circles. We observe that there exist Apollonian packings which have strong integrality properties, in which…
In Euclidean geometry the circle of Apollonious is the locus of points in the plane from which two collinear adjacent segments are perceived as having the same length. In Hyperbolic geometry, the analog of this locus is an algebraic curve…
In this paper we consider the following problem: For a given natural number $d$ and a prime $p$ determine all Newton polygons of polarized K3 surfaces of degree 2d over fields of characteristic $p$. This is an analogue of the Manin problem…
In this paper we investigate when the generic member of a family of K3 surfaces admitting a non--symplectic automorphism of finite order admits also a symplectic automorphism of the same order. We give a complete answer to this question if…
We proved the existence of rational curves in every linear system on a general K3 surface and that all rational curves in the hyperplane class are nodal on a general K3 surface of small genus.
Haag, Kertzer, Rickards, and Stange disprove the Local-Global Conjecture for Apollonian circle packings. We extend their disproof to four more types of integral circle packing: the octahedral, cubic, square, and triangular packings. In each…
We prove that the moduli space of smooth primitively polarized $\mathrm{K3}$ surfaces of genus 33 is unirational.
In this paper we study the automorphisms group of some K3 surfaces which are double covers of the projective plane ramified over a smooth sextic plane curve. More precisely, we study some particlar case of a K3 surface of Picard rank two.
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…
We study the orbit of $\widehat{\mathbb{R}}$ under the M\"obius action of the Bianchi group $\operatorname{PSL}_2(\mathcal{O}_K)$ on $\widehat{\mathbb{C}}$, where $\mathcal{O}_K$ is the ring of integers of an imaginary quadratic field $K$.…
We study abelian varieties and K3 surfaces with complex multiplication defined over number fields of fixed degree. We show that these varieties fall into finitely many isomorphism classes over an algebraic closure of the field of rational…
In this paper, we demonstrate a connection between the group structure and Neron-Tate pairing on elliptic curves in an elliptic fibration with section on a K3 surface, and the structure of the ample cone for the K3 surface. Part of the…
We determine five extremal effective rays of the four-dimensional cone of effective surfaces on the toroidal compactification $\overline{\mathcal A}_3$ of the moduli space ${\mathcal A}_3$ of complex principally polarized abelian…
In this paper we construct an example of a properly immersed maximal surface in the Lorentz-Minkowski space L^3 with the conformal type of a disk.
We consider surfaces of geometric genus $3$ with the property that their transcendental cohomology splits into $3$ pieces, each piece coming from a $K3$ surface. For certain families of surfaces with this property, we can show there is a…
Given a smooth complex projective surface $S$ and an ample divisor $H$ on $S$, consider the blow up of $S$ along $k$ points in general position. Let $H'$ be the pullback of $H$ and $E_1,..., E_k$ be the exceptional divisors. We show that $L…
