In this article, we study the geometry of plane curves obtained by three sections and another section given as their sum on certain rational elliptic surfaces. We make use of Mumford representations of semi-reduced divisors in order to…

We give a short and "classical" proof of Borcherds' theorem that the moduli space of Enriques surfaces is quasi-affine. The use of the Borcherds' product is replaced in our proof by an application of the Grothendieck-Riemann-Roch theorem.

In this paper, we study the geometry of trisections on certain rational elliptic surfaces. We utilize Mumford representations of semi-reduced divisors in order to construct trisections and related plane curves with interesting properties…

We determine the Gromov-Witten invariants of the local Enriques surfaces for all genera and curve classes and prove the Klemm-Mari\~{n}o formula. In particular, we show that the generating series of genus $1$ invariants of the Enriques…

We study Enriques surfaces with four A_2-configurations. In particular, we construct open Enriques surfaces with fundamental groups (Z/3Z)^2 x Z/2Z and Z/6Z, completing the picture of the A_2-case from previous work by Keum and Zhang. We…

We give the first examples of $\mathcal{O}$-acyclic smooth projective geometrically connected varieties over the function field of a complex curve, whose index is not equal to one. More precisely, we construct a family of Enriques surfaces…

We show some geometric properties of Enriques surfaces via $\mathbb Q$-Gorenstein smoothings of Coble surfaces. In particular, we explicitly identify the Enriques lattice of the general fiber with the Coble-Mukai lattice. At the end, we…

We study the existence of linear series on curves lying on an Enriques surface and general in their complete linear system. Using a method that works also below the Bogomolov-Reider range, we compute, in all cases, the gonality of such…

We study obstructions to rationality on a nodal Fano threefold $M$ that is a double cover of a smooth quadric threefold ramified over an intersection with a quartic threefold in $\mathbb{P}^4$. We prove that if $M$ admits an Artin--Mumford…

The correspondence between right triangles with rational sides, triplets of rational squares in arithmetic succession and integral solutions of certain quadratic forms is well known. We show how this correspondence can be extended to the…

We give an explicit construction and clasification of some very special sort of Enriques surfaces in characteristic two. This proves the existence of some of the surfaces that were called ``extra-special'' by Cossec and Dolgachev in their…

By using superisolated surface singularities whose link is a rational homology sphere we give counterexamples to some of the most important conjetures concernig invariants of normal surface singularities.

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…

A complex compact surface which carries an automorphism of positive topological entropy has been proved by Cantat to be either a torus, a K3 surface, an Enriques surface or a rational surface. Automorphisms of rational surfaces are quite…

Physical reasons suggested in \cite{Ha-Ha} for the \emph{Quantum Gravity Problem} lead us to study \emph{type-changing metrics} on a manifold. The most interesting cases are \emph{Transverse Riemann-Lorentz Manifolds}. Here we study the…

We introduce logarithmic Enriques varieties as a singular analogue of Enriques manifolds, generalizing the notion of log-Enriques surfaces introduced by Zhang. We focus mainly on the properties of the subfamily of log-Enriques varieties…

We study a double solid X branched along a nodal sextic surface in a projective space and the 2-torsion subgroup in the third integer cohomology group of a resolution of singularities of X. This group can be considered as an obstruction to…

Let $A$ be a simple abelian surface over an algebraically closed field $k$. Let $S\subset A(k)$ be the set of torsion points $x$ of $A$ such that there exists a genus $2$ curve $C$ and a map $f: C\to A$ such that $x$ is in the image of $f$,…

Building on the results of Deligne and Illusie on liftings to truncated Witt vectors, we give a criterion for non-liftability that involves only the dimension of certain cohomology groups of vector bundles arising from the Frobenius…

We give conceptual proofs of some results on the automorphism group of an Enriques surface X, for which only computational proofs have been available. Namely, there is an obvious upper bound on the image of Aut(X) in the isometry group of…
