Trinomial hypersurfaces form a natural class of affine algebraic varieties closely connected with varieties admitting a torus action of complexity one. We investigate orbits of the automorphism group on these hypersurfaces. We prove that…

This paper is concerned with the construction of extremal elliptic K3 surfaces. It gives a complete treatment of those fibrations which can be derived from rational elliptic surfaces by easy manipulations of their Weierstrass equations. In…

The classification of finite group-actions on closed surfaces of small genus is well-known. In the present paper we are interested in the question of which of these group-actions are bounding (extend to a compact 3-manifold with the surface…

It was shown by Mukai that the maximum order of a finite group acting faithfully and symplectically on a K3 surface is $960$ and that the group is isomorphic to the group $M\_{20}$. Then Kondo showed that the maximum order of a finite group…

It was proved by Tien-Cuong Dinh and me that there is a smooth complex projective surface whose automorphism group is discrete and not finitely generated. In this paper, we will show that there is a smooth projective surface, birational to…

We exhibit automorphisms of a certain K3 surface in $\mathbb{P}^1\times \mathbb{P}^1 \times \mathbb{P}^1$ with an isolated fixed point at which the induced action on the stalk of the structure sheaf is arbitrarily close to the identity.…

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 study fibrations by elliptic curves and K3 surfaces of double octic Calabi-Yau threefolds determined by singular lines and points of multiplicity at least 4 of the defining octic arrangement. As a consequence we conclude that every…

In this note we explore a connection between finite covers of surfaces and the Teichm\"uller polynomial of a fibered face of a hyperbolic 3--manifold. We consider the action of a homological pseudo-Anosov homeomorphism $\psi$ on the…

We discuss the geometry of the genus one fibrations associated to an elliptic fibration on a K3 surface. We show that the two-torsion subgroup of the Brauer group of a general elliptic fibration is naturally isomorphic to the two-torsion of…

We list all finite abelian groups which act effectively on smooth cubic fourfolds.

This survey describes some recent work, by the authors and others, on the existence of algebraic fibrations of group extensions, as well as the finiteness properties of their algebraic fibers, in the realm of both abstract and pro-$p$…

We study the order of automorphism groups of cyclic covering fibrations of a ruled surface. Arakawa and later Chen studied it for hyperelliptic fibrations and gave the upper bound. The purpose of present paper is to pursue the analog for…

Motivated by a problem originating in string theory, we study elliptic fibrations on K3 surfaces with large Picard number modulo isomorphism. We give methods to determine upper bounds for the number of inequivalent K3 surfaces sharing the…

We prove that every endomorphism of the mapping class group of an orientable surface onto a subgroup of finite index is in fact an automorphism.

Let $X$ be a K3 surface defined over a number field $K$. Assume that $X$ admits a structure of an elliptic fibration or an infinite group of automorphisms. Then there exists a finite extension $K'/K$ such that the set of $K'$-rational…

Motivated by the theory of Riemann surfaces, we classify all possibilities for finite simple groups acting faithfully on a compact Riemann surface of genus at least 2 in such a way that all non-trivial elements have at most three fixed…

In this short note, we prove the existence of infinitely many pairwise non-isomorphic non-hyperelliptic Riemann surfaces with automorphism group acting transitively on the Weierstrass points. We also found all those compact Riemann surfaces…

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.

We consider the symplectic action of a finite group G on a K3 surface. The Picard group of the K3 surface has a primitive sublattice determined by G. We show how to compute the rank and discriminant of this sublattice. We then describe…
