We study period maps for families of $K3$ surfaces those are given by anti canonical divisors of toric varieties coming from reflexive polytopes $P_2, P_4, P_5$ and $P_r$. We obtain systems of period differential equations for these…

We give a method to construct singular Lagrangian 3-torus fibrations over certain a priori given integral affine manifolds with singularities, which we call simple. The main result of this article is the proof that the topological…

We propose modifications to the commonly used definitions of lattice-polarized and lattice-quasipolarized smooth K3 surfaces, collecting various versions of the definition, and determining the effects of these choices on the resulting…

We construct geometric compactifications of the moduli space $F_{2d}$ of polarized K3 surfaces, in any degree $2d$. Our construction is via KSBA theory, by considering canonical choices of divisor $R\in |nL|$ on each polarized K3 surface…

A Calabi-Yau threefold is called of type K if it admits an \'etale Galois covering by the product of a K3 surface and an elliptic curve. In our previous paper, based on Oguiso-Sakurai's fundamental work, we provide the full classification…

In this paper we investigate two stratifications of the moduli space of elliptically fibred K3 surfaces. The first comes from Shimada's classification of connected components of elliptically fibred K3 surfaces and is closely related to the…

We study F-theory orientifolds, starting with products of two elliptic curves, but focusing mostly on a family of K3 surfaces, lattice polarized by the rank-17 lattice $\langle 8 \rangle \oplus 2D_8(-1)$, generalizing the family (to which…

Strange duality is shown to hold over generic $K3$ surfaces in a large number of cases. The isomorphism for elliptic $K3$ surfaces is established first via Fourier-Mukai techniques. Applications to Brill-Noether theory for sheaves on $K3$s…

We study in detail mirror symmetry for the quartic K3 surface in P3 and the mirror family obtained by the orbifold construction. As explained by Aspinwall and Morrison, mirror symmetry for K3 surfaces can be entirely described in terms of…

In this paper we study the automorphisms group of some K3 surfaces which are double covers of the projective plane ramified over a smooth sextic plane curve. More precisely, we study some particlar case of a K3 surface of Picard rank two.

From the viewpoint of mirror symmetry, we revisit the hypergeometric system $E(3,6)$ for a family of K3 surfaces. We construct a good resolution of the Baily-Borel-Satake compactification of its parameter space, which admits special…

We propose a combinatorical duality for lattice polyhedra which conjecturally gives rise to the pairs of mirror symmetric families of Calabi-Yau complete intersections in toric Fano varieties with Gorenstein singularities. Our construction…

We consider real forms of relatively minimal rational surfaces F_m. Connected components of moduli of real non-singular curves in |-2K_{F_m}| had been classified recently for m=0, 1, 4 in math.AG/0312396. Applying similar methods, here we…

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 an example of the recent proposed mirror construction of Strominger, Yau and Zaslow in ``Mirror Symmetry is T-duality,'' hep-th/9606040. The paper first considers mirror symmetry for K3 surfaces in light of this construction. We…

We compute certain one-loop corrections to F^4 couplings of the heterotic string compactified on T^2, and show that they can be characterized by holomorphic prepotentials. We then discuss how some of these couplings can be obtained in…

We show that the classical Kuga-Satake construction gives rise, away from characteristic 2, to an open immersion from the moduli of primitively polarized K3 surfaces (of any fixed degree) to a certain regular integral model for a Shimura…

We continue our study on the hypergeometric system $E(3,6)$ which describes period integrals of the double cover family of K3 surfaces. Near certain special boundary points in the moduli space of the K3 surfaces, we construct the local…

In this paper we describe six pencils of K3-surfaces which have large Picard-Number and contain precisely five singular fibers: four have A-D-E singularities and one is non-reduced. In particular we describe these surfaces as cyclic…

Using results of our papers [19], [20] and [21] about classification of degenerations of Kahlerian K3 surfaces with finite symplectic automorphism groups, we classify Picard lattices of Kahlerian K3 surfaces. By classification we understand…
