We consider an elliptic surface $\pi: \mathcal{E}\rightarrow \mathbb{P}^1$ defined over a number field $k$ and study the problem of comparing the rank of the special fibres over $k$ with that of the generic fibre over $k(\mathbb{P}^1)$. We…
Working in characteristic two, I classify nonsmooth Enriques surfaces with normal crossing singularities. Using Kato's theory of logarithmic structures, I show that such surfaces are smoothable and lift to characteristic zero, provided they…
We study the structure of the \'etale fundamental groups of smooth curves over certain arithmetic schemes, and investigate the relative version of Grothendieck's anabelian conjecture in this setting. Consequently, every hyperbolic curve…
We study edge-maximal, non-complete graphs on surfaces that do not triangulate the surface. We prove that there is no such graph on the projective plane $\mathbb{N}_1$, $K_7-e$ is the unique such graph on the Klein bottle $\mathbb{N}_2$ and…
We use the weighted Hsiung-Minkowski integral formulas and Brendle's inequality to show new rigidity results. First, we prove Alexandrov type results for closed embedded hypersurfaces with radially symmetric higher order mean curvature in a…
We construct a family of elliptic surfaces with $p_g=q=1$ that arise from base change of the Hesse pencil. We identify explicitly a component of the higher Noether-Lefschetz locus with positive Mordell-Weil rank, and a particular surface…
A method of Gabber (2002) produces unramified cohomology classes in the products of certain varieties with an elliptic curve. The connection between third unramified cohomology and integral Hodge conjecture for codimension 2 cycles (2012,…
We give a notion of ordinary Enriques surfaces and their canonical lifts in any positive characteristic, and we prove Torelli-type results for this class of Enriques surfaces.
We study the motivic Pandharipande-Thomas invariants of the Enriques Calabi-Yau threefolds in fiber curve classes by basic computations and analysis of a wallcrossing formula of Toda. Motivated by our results we conjecture a formula for the…
This note contains preliminary calculation of topological types or real Enriques surfaces. We realize 59 topological types of real Enriques surfaces (Theorem 6) and show that all other topological types belong to the list of 21 topological…
Making suitable generalizations of known results we prove some general facts about Gaussian maps. The above are then used, in the second part of the article, to give a set of conditions that insure the surjectivity of Gaussian maps for…
For a reduced projective scheme over the ring of integers of a number field, the set of places over which the fibres of the scheme are not reduced is a finite set. We give an explicit upper bound for the product of the norms of places in…
In this paper we discuss the number of Enriques quotients of a fixed K3 surface. We prove the finiteness and unboundedness of the number. We also show an example of Kummer surface of product type where we can successfully classify all the…
We initiate a study of the local invariant cycle theorem with integral coefficients for 1-parameter semistable families of varieties. We show that it always holds for $H^1$, and it holds for $H^2$ if the general fiber has trivial Albanese…
Let $X$ be a K3 surface which doubly covers an Enriques surface $S$. If $n\in\mathbb{N}$ is an odd number, then the Hilbert scheme of $n$-points $X^{[n]}$ admits a natural quotient $S_{[n]}$. This quotient is an Enriques manifold in the…
We study certain moduli spaces of sheaves on Enriques surfaces thereby obtaining, in every odd dimension, new examples of Calabi-Yau manifolds. We describe the geometry (canonical bundle, fundamental group, second Betti number and certain…
We construct K3 surfaces over number fields that have good reduction everywhere. These do not exists over the rational numbers, by results of Abrashkin and Fontaine. Our surfaces exist for three quadratic number fields, and an infinite…
For a real Enriques surface Y we prove that every homology class in H_1(Y(R), Z/2) can be represented by a real algebraic curve if and only if all connected components of Y(R) are orientable. Furthermore, we give a characterization of real…
We use the LLV algebra to describe the action of a finite order automorphism on the total cohomology of a manifold of OG10 type. As an application, we prove that no Enriques manifolds arise as \'etale quotients of hyper-K\"ahler manifolds…
We prove that, for an Enriques surface in odd characteristic, the automorphism group is finitely generated and it acts on the effective nef cone with a rational polyhedral fundamental domain. We also construct a smooth projective surface in…
