We introduce toric arrangements, essentially finite families of codimension 1 subtori of a torus or of their cosets, as a periodic generalization of hyperplane arrangements, compute cohomology of the complement of such an arrangement and…
We outline a method to compute rational models for the Hilbert modular surfaces Y_{-}(D), which are coarse moduli spaces for principally polarized abelian surfaces with real multiplication by the ring of integers in Q(sqrt{D}), via moduli…
These are lecture notes based on a series of talks given by the authors at the CIMPA Summer School on Algebraic Geometry and Hypergeometric Functions held in Istanbul in Summer of 2005. They provide an introduction to a recent work on the…
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…
The period morphism of polarized hyper-K\"ahler manifolds of K3$^{[m]}$-type gives an embedding of each connected component of the moduli space of polarized hyper-K\"ahler manifolds of K3$^{[m]}$-type into their period space, which is the…
We describe periods of irreducible holomorphic manifolds of $K3^{[n]}$-type with a non-symplectic automorphism of prime order $p\geq 3$. These turn out to lie on complex ball quotients and we are able to give a precise characterization of…
We describe a method to construct indecomposable classes in Bloch's higher Chow group $CH^2(X,1)$ on algebraic surfaces over the complex numbers via transcendental methods and apply it to obtain examples on K3-surfaces and some surfaces of…
We prove a correspondence theorem for singular tropical surfaces in real three space, which recovers singular algebraic surfaces in an appropriate toric three-fold that tropicalize to a given singular tropical surface. Furthermore, we…
We investigate the construction of real analytic Levi-flat hypersurfaces in K3 surfaces. By taking images of real hyperplanes, one can construct such hypersurfaces in two-dimensional complex tori. We show that "almost every" K3 surfaces…
We introduce the notion of a combinatorial K3 surface. Those form a certain class of type III semistable K3 surfaces and are completely determined by combinatorial data called curve structures. Emphasis is put on degree $2$ combinatorial K3…
We describe the application of the results of Kudla-Millson on the modularity of generating series for cohomology classes of special cycles to the case of lattice polarized K3 surfaces. In this case, the special cycles can be interpreted as…
This is an improved version of the eprint previously entitled "Unexpected isomorphisms between hyperk\"ahler fourfolds." We study smooth projective hyperk\"ahler fourfolds that are deformations of Hilbert squares of K3 surfaces and are…
Given an arrangement of subtori of arbitrary codimension in a torus, we compute the cohomology groups of the complement. Then, using the Leray spectral sequence, we describe the multiplicative structure on the graded cohomology. We also…
We compute the critical surface for the existence of invariant tori of a family of Hamiltonian systems with two and three degrees of freedom. We use and compare two methods to compute the critical surfaces: renormalization-group…
We give a simple expression for the integral of the canonical holomorphic volume form in degenerating families of varieties constructed from wall structures and with central fiber a union of toric varieties. The cycles to integrate over are…
Let $\left\{ Z_t \right\}_t$ be a one-parameter family of complex hypersurfaces of dimension $d \geq 1$ in a toric variety. We compute asymptotics of period integrals for $\left\{ Z_t \right\}_t$ by applying the method 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…
These notes will give an introduction to the theory of K3 surfaces. We begin with some general results on K3 surfaces, including the construction of their moduli space and some of its properties. We then move on to focus on the theory of…
The endomorphism algebra of a K3 type Hodge structure is a totally real field or a CM field. In this paper we give a low brow introduction to the case of a totally real field. We give existence results for the Hodge structures, for their…
A real toric space is a topological space which admits a well-behaved $\mathbb{Z}_2^k$-action. Real moment-angle complexes and real toric varieties are typical examples of real toric spaces. A real toric space is determined by a pair of a…
