We verify that elliptic K3 surfaces and algebraic groups have many rational points over function fields, i.e., they are geometrically special in the sense of Javanpeykar-Rousseau. We also show that under additional assumptions, this…

Let $X$ be a K3 or Enriques surface with good reduction. Let $G$ be a finite group acting (not necessarily linearly) on $X$. We give a criterion for this group action to extend to a smooth model of $X$ in terms of the action of $G$ on the…

Symplectic involutions of a K3 surface are those involutions which leave the holomorphic 2-form invariant. We show, as predicted by Bloch's conjecture, that they act trivially on the CH_0 group of the K3 surface. This was recently proved by…

We determine the minimum positive entropy of complex Enriques surface automorphisms. This together with McMullen's work completes the determination of the minimum positive entropy of complex surface automorphisms in each class of…

Using lattice theory, Hulek and Sch\"utt proved that for every $m\in\mathbb{Z}_+$ there exists a nine-dimensional family $\mathcal{F}_m$ of K3 surfaces covering Enriques surfaces having an elliptic pencil with a rational bisection of…

The classical Shafarevich conjecture predicts that the universal cover of a complex smooth projective variety $X$ is holomorphically convex. In this paper, we propose a refinement of this conjecture for varieties defined over the reals. In…

Given a finite field k of characteristic at least 5, we show that the Tate conjecture holds for K3 surfaces defined over the algebraic closure of k if and only if there are only finitely many K3 surfaces over each finite extension of k.

We construct a family of Fano fourfolds with the derived category of coherent sheaves of a general Enriques surface as semiorthogonal component. This improves a result of Kuznetsov, lowering the Fano dimension of a general Enriques surface…

We prove that a smooth projective surface $S$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>3$ is birational to an abelian surface if $P_1(S)=P_4(S)=1$ and $h^1(S,\mathcal{O}_S)=2$.

The Neron--Ogg--Safarevic criterion for abelian varieties tells that whether an abelian variety has good reduction or not can be determined from the Galois action on its l-adic etale cohomology. We prove an analogue of this criterion for…

We determine the N\'eron-Severi lattices of $K3$ hypersurfaces with large Picard number in toric three-folds derived from Fano polytopes. On each $K3$ surface, we introduce a particular elliptic fibration. In the proof of the main theorem,…

We give a 1-dimensional family of classical and supersingular Enriques surfaces in characteristic 2 covered by the supersingular K3 surface with Artin invariant 1. Moreover we show that there exist 30 nonsingular rational curves and ten…

For a K3 surface S, consider the subring of CH(S^n) generated by divisor and diagonal classes (with Q-coefficients). Voisin conjectures that the restriction of the cycle class map to this ring is injective. We prove that Voisin's conjecture…

Minimal algebraic surfaces of general type with the smallest possible invariants have geometric genus zero and K^2=1 and are usually called "numerical Godeaux surfaces". Although they have been studied by several authors, their complete…

We show that there are exactly, up to isomorphisms, seven extremal log Enriques surfaces Z and construct all of them; among them types D_{19} and A_{19} have been shown of certain uniqueness by M. Reid. We also prove that the (degree 3 or…

Given d in IN, we prove that any polarized Enriques surface (over any field of characteristic different from 2 or with a smooth K3 cover) of degree greater than 12d^2 contains at most 12 rational curves of degree at most d. For d>2 we…

Using wall-crossing for K3 surfaces, we establish birational equivalence of moduli spaces of stable objects on generic Enriques surfaces for different stability conditions. As an application, we prove in the case of a Mukai vector of odd…

Using the multiple cover formula of Y. Toda for counting invariants of semistable twisted sheaves over twisted local K3 surfaces we calculate the $\SU(r)/\zz_r$-Vafa-Witten invariants for K3 surfaces for any rank $r$ for the Langlands dual…

A K3 surface over a number field has infinitely many rational points over a finite field extension. For K3 surfaces of degree 2, arising as double covers of $\mathbb{P}^2$ branched along a smooth sextic curve, we give a bound for the degree…

Let $L$ be a line bundle on a K3 or Enriques surface. We give a vanishing theorem for $H^1(L)$ that, unlike most vanishing theorems, gives necessary and sufficient geometrical conditions for the vanishing. This result is essential in our…
