In this paper we construct various moduli spaces of K3 surfaces $M$ equipped with a surjective holomorphic map $\pi:M\to\Pb^1$ with generic fiber a complex torus (e.g., an elliptic fibration). Examples include moduli spaces of such maps…

The aim of this paper is to derive explicitly a connection between the Zagier elliptic trilogarithm and Mahler measures of a certain family of three-variable polynomials defining K3 surfaces. In addition, we prove some linear relations…

This paper examines the relationship between the knotting of an embedded surface in $\R^3$ and the knotting of its fold curves, formed by the singular set of projection to a plane. The first result shows that every surface, no matter how…

We present a framework for constructing examples of smooth projective curves over number fields with explicitly given elements in their second K-group using elementary algebraic geometry. This leads to new examples for hyperelliptic curves…

We study negative curves on surfaces obtained by blowing up special configurations of points in the complex projective palne. Our main results concern the following configurations: very general points on a cubic, 3-torsion points on an…

We exhibit large families of K3 surfaces with real multiplication, both abstractly using lattice theory, the Torelli theorem and the surjectivity of the period map, as well as explicitly using dihedral covers and isogenies.

We construct a new class of complete constant mean curvature surfaces in R^3. These are geometrically different than the surfaces constructed by Kapouleas' gluing technique. These are obtained by piecing together half-Delaunay surfaces to…

Using the algebraic geometry method of Berenstein and Leigh for the construction of the toroidal orbifold (T^2 x T^2 x T^2) / (Z_2 x Z_2) with discrete torsion and considering local K3 surfaces, we present non-commutative aspects of the…

We prove that a very general projective K3 surface does not admit a dominant self rational map of degree at least two.

In this note we present the classification of non-symplectic automorphisms of prime order on K3 surfaces, i.e.we describe the topological structure of their fixed locus and determine the invariant lattice in cohomology. We provide new…

We construct minimal surfaces by gluing simply periodic Karcher--Scherk saddle towers along their wings. Such constructions were previously implemented assuming a horizontal reflection plane. We break this symmetry by prescribing phase…

In arXiv:2409.03960, we introduced an approach to the question of extendability of projective varieties via degeneration to ribbons. In this article we build on these methods to give a new proof of optimal results on the extendability of…

We classify elliptic K3 surfaces in characteristic $p$ with $p^n$-torsion sections. For $p^n\geq3$ we verify conjectures of Artin and Shioda, compute the heights of their formal Brauer groups, as well as Artin invariants and Mordell--Weil…

Let S be a K3 surface obtained as triple cover of a quadric branched along a genus 4 curve. Using the relation with cubic fourfolds, we show that S has finite dimensional motive, in the sense of Kimura. We also establish the Kuga-Satake…

K3 polytopes appear in complements of tropical quartic surfaces. They are dual to regular unimodular central triangulations of reflexive polytopes in the fourth dilation of the standard tetrahedron. Exploring these combinatorial objects, we…

We prove that any non-isotrivial elliptic K3 surface over an algebraically closed field $k$ of arbitrary characteristic contains infinitely many rational curves. In the case when $\mathrm{char}(k)\neq 2,3$, we prove this result for any…

We show that there exists an automorphism of a projective K3 surface with Picard number $2$ such that the trace of its action on the Picard lattice is $3$. Together with a result of K. Hashimoto, J. Keum and K. Lee, we determine the set of…

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…

In this article we exhibit certain projective degenerations of smooth $K3$ surfaces of degree $2g-2$ in $\Bbb P^g$ (whose Picard group is generated by the hyperplane class), to a union of two rational normal scrolls, and also to a union of…

In this paper, we give an explicit construction of higher Chow cycles of type $(2,1)$ on $K3$ surfaces obtained as quadruple coverings of the projective plane ramified along smooth quartics. The construction uses a pair of bitangents of the…
