Let k be a perfect field of characteristic p > 2. In this note, we show that the local moduli space of a non-supersingular K3 surface over k with trivial deformation of the associated enlarged formal Brauer group admits a natural…

The aim of this paper is to investigate the birational geometry of Generalized Severi-Brauer varieties. A conjecture of Amitsur states that two Severi-Brauer varieties $V(A)$ and $V(B)$ are birational if the underlying central simple…

Let $A$ be an abelian variety over a field finitely generated over $\mathbb{Q}$. We show that the finiteness of the $\ell$-primary torsion subgroup of the higher Brauer group is a sufficient criterion for the Tate conjecture to hold.…

We study the distribution of the Frobenius traces on $K3$ surfaces. We compare experimental data with the predictions made by the Sato--Tate conjecture, i.e. with the theoretical distributions derived from the theory of Lie groups assuming…

This paper is devoted to abelian varieties arising from generalized Legendre curves. In particular, we consider their corresponding Galois representations, periods, and endomorphism algebras. For certain one parameter families of…

We give a uniform bound on the degree of the maximal torsion cosets for subvarieties of an abelian variety. The proof combines algebraic interpolation and a theorem of Serre on homotheties in the Galois representation associated to the…

In this paper, we investigate Bloch's conjecture for autoequivalence on K3 surfaces. We introduce the notion of reflective autoequivalence of twisted K3 surfaces and prove Bloch's conjecture for such autoequivalences, thereby confirming the…

This is (mostly) a survey article. We use an information about Galois properties of points of small order on an abelian variety in order to describe its endomorphism algebra over an algebraic closure of the ground field. We discuss in…

If $X'= ({\mathbb B} / \Gamma)'$ is a torsion free toroidal compactification of a discrete ball quotient $X_o={\mathbb B} / \Gamma$ and $\xi : (X', T = X'\setminus X_o) \rightarrow (X, D = \xi (T))$ is the blow-down of the $(-1)$-curves to…

We describe the equations and Gr\"obner bases of some degenerate K3 surfaces associated to rational normal scrolls. These K3 surfaces are members of a class of interesting singular projective varieties we call correspondence scrolls. The…

We study involutions on K3 surfaces under conjugation by derived equivalence and more general relations, together with applications to equivariant birational geometry.

We prove a formula expressing the motivic integral (\cite{ls}) of a K3 surface over $\bC((t))$ with semi-stable reduction in terms of the associated limit Hodge structure. Secondly, for every smooth variety over a non-archimedean field we…

We prove the main Conjecture 4 of our paper arXiv:1403.6061v5, which leads to classification of degenerations of codimension one of Kahlerian K3 surfaces with finite symplectic automorphism groups.

The purpose of this paper is to prove a local p-adic monodromy theorem for ordinary abelian surfaces and K3 surfaces with bad reduction in characteristic p. As an application, we get a finiteness result for the reduction of their Hecke…

We study the inertia groups of some smooth rational curves on 2-elementary K3 surfaces and singular K3 surfaces from the view of topological entropy, with an application to a long standing open question of Coble on the inertia group of a…

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…

For a variety over a global field, one can consider subsets of the set of adelic points of the variety cut out by finite abelian descent or Brauer-Manin obstructions. Given a Galois extension of the ground field one can consider similar…

Nikulin and Vinberg proved that there are only a finite number of lattices of rank $\geq 3$ that are the N\'eron-Severi group of projective K3 surfaces with a finite automorphism group. The aim of this paper is to provide a more geometric…

In a remarkable article Ribet showed how to attach rational $2$-dimensional representations to elliptic ${\mathbb Q}$-curves. An abelian variety $A$ is a (weak) $K$-variety if it is isogenous to all of its $\text{Gal}_K$-conjugates. In this…

Let $X$ be a $K3$ surface over a $p$-adic field $k$ such that for some abelian surface $A$ isogenous to a product of two elliptic curves, there is an isomorphism over the algebraic closure of $k$ between $X$ and the Kummer surface…
