In many singular metric spaces, the regularity of a shortest-length curve is unknown. Algebraic varieties, or more generally sets defined by finitely many polynomial or real analytic equalities or inequalities, all locally partition into…

Using toric geometry, lattice theory, and elliptic surface techniques, we compute the Picard Lattice of certain K3 surfaces. In particular, we examine the generic member of each of M. Reid's list of 95 families of Gorenstein K3 surfaces…

During the last few decades, there has been a growing interest in exact solutions of Einstein equations describing razor-thin disks. Despite the progress in the area, the analytical study of geodesic motion crossing the disk plane in these…

We consider closed hypersurfaces smoothly immersed in hyperbolic manifolds up to homotopy and commensurability. We prove that if a closed hyperbolic manifold $M$ contains a sequence of asymptotically geodesic hypersurfaces, then $\pi_1(M)$…

The aim of this paper is to give an explicit description of the fixed loci of symplectic automorphisms for certain hyperkahler manifolds, namely for Hilbert schemes on K3 surfaces and for generalized Kummer varieties. Here we extend our…

We give a detailed description of the nearly K\"ahler $\frac{\mathrm{SL}(3,\mathbb R)}{\mathbb R\times \mathrm{SO}(2)}$, which is one of the pseudo-Riemannian counterparts of the flag manifold $F(\mathbb{C}^3)$. The main result is the…

We study semistable pairs on elliptic K3 surfaces with a section: we construct a family of moduli spaces of pairs, related by wall crossing phenomena, which can be studied to describe the birational correspondence between moduli spaces of…

These are notes of my lectures given at the school on intersection theory and moduli at the ICTP, Trieste. We construct moduli spaces of K3 surfaces and higherdimensional hyperkaehler manifolds, including moduli spaces of (2,2)-conformal…

We solve the problem of counting jacobian elliptic fibrations on an arbitrary complex projective K3 surface up to automorphisms. We then illustrate our method with several explicit examples.

Let $M$ be a closed hyperbolic $3$-manifold. A homotopy class $[S]$ of surfaces in $M$ is filling if any representative cuts $M$ into components contractible in $M$. We prove that there exist $\epsilon_0, g_0>0$ such that every homotopy…

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 study issues pertaining to the Ricci-flatness of metrics on orbifolds resolved by D-branes. We find a K\"ahler metric on the three-dimensional orbifold $\C^3/\Z_3$, resolved by D-branes, following an approach due to Guillemin. This…

We exploit the presence of moduli fields in the ${\rm AdS}_3\times { S}^3\times CY_2$, where $CY_2=T^4$ or $K3$, solution to Type IIB superstring theory, to construct a U-fold solution with geometry ${\rm AdS}_2\times S^1\times {\rm…

We study properties of typical closed geodesics on expander surfaces of high genus, i.e. closed hyperbolic surfaces with a uniform spectral gap of the Laplacian. Under an additional systole lower bound assumption, we show almost every…

We give some remarks on some manifolds K3 surfaces, Complex projective spaces, real projective space and Torus and the classification of two dimensional Riemannian surfaces, Green functions and the Stokes formula. We also, talk about traces…

In this paper almost complex surfaces of the nearly K\"ahler $S^3\times S^3$ are studied in a systematic way. We show that on such a surface it is possible to define a global holomorphic differential, which is induced by an almost product…

Right after Yau's resolution of the Calabi conjecture in the late 1970s, physicists Page and Gibbons-Pope conjectured that one may approximate Ricci-flat K\"{a}hler metrics on the $K3$ surface with metrics having "almost special holonomy"…

The zeta function of a K3 surface over a finite field satisfies a number of obvious (archimedean and l-adic) and a number of less obvious (p-adic) constraints. We consider the converse question, in the style of Honda-Tate: given a function…

We give a systematic method to calculate some homological data from the global monodromy of a topological elliptic surface. We apply this method to the cases 1) the transcendental lattice of an extremal elliptic K3 surface, 2) the torsion…

We review recent developments in the arithmetic of K3 surfaces. Our focus lies on aspects of modularity, Picard number and rational points. Throughout we emphasise connections to geometry.
