The more recent paper "Generic strange duality for K3 surfaces" by the authors contains stronger results.
Let $p$ be an odd prime. For any $p$-adic integer $a$ we let $\overline{a}$ denote the unique integer $x$ with $-p/2<x<p/2$ and $x-a$ divisible by $p$. In this paper we study some permutations involving quadratic residues modulo $p$. For…
The seminal concept of characteristic polygon of an embedded algebroid surface, first developed by Hironaka, seems well suited for combinatorially (perhaps even effectively) tracking of a resolution process. However, the way this object…
Using some theory of (rational) elliptic surfaces plus elementary properties of a Mordell-Weil group regarded as module over the endomorphism ring of a (CM) elliptic curve, we present examples of such surfaces with j-invariant zero. In…
We prove the Hodge-D-conjecture for general K3 and Abelian surfaces. Some consequences of this result, e.g., on the levels of higher Chow groups of products of elliptic curves, are discussed.
We construct nontrivial L-equivalence between curves of genus one and degree five, and between elliptic surfaces of multisection index five. These results give the first examples of L-equivalence for curves (necessarily over…
In this paper, we construct a special family of cyclic codes, known as quadratic residue codes of prime length \( p \equiv \pm 1 \pmod{44} ,\) \( p \equiv \pm 5 \pmod{44} ,\) \( p \equiv \pm 7 \pmod{44} ,\) \( p \equiv \pm 9 \pmod{44} \)…
Given a K3 surface $X$ over a number field $K$ with potentially good reduction everywhere, we prove that the set of primes of $K$ where the geometric Picard rank jumps is infinite. As a corollary, we prove that either $X_{\overline{K}}$ has…
We present the geometry lying behind counting twin prime polynomials in $\mathbb{F}_q[T]$ in general. We compute cohomology and explicitly count points by means of a twisted Lefschetz trace formula applied to these parametrizing varieties…
We prove the conjectures of Yau-Zaslow and Gottsche concerning the number curves on K3 surfaces. Specifically, let X be a K3 surface and C be a holomorphic curve in X representing a primitive homology class. We count the number of curves of…
We study threefolds fibred by Kummer surfaces associated to products of elliptic curves, that arise as resolved quotients of threefolds fibred by certain lattice polarized K3 surfaces under a fibrewise Nikulin involution. We present a…
We study the moduli spaces of elliptic K3 surfaces of Picard number at least 3, i.e. $U\oplus \langle -2k \rangle$-polarized K3 surfaces. Such moduli spaces are proved to be of general type for $k\geq 220$. The proof relies on the…
We study the moduli space of pairs consisting of a smooth cubic surface and a smooth hyperplane section, via a Hodge theoretic period map due to Laza, Pearlstein, and the second named author. The construction associates to such a pair a…
We discuss criteria for the nonexistence, existence and computation of invariant algebraic surfaces for three-dimensional complex polynomial vector fields, thus transferring a classical problem of Poincar\'e from dimension two to dimension…
A series of Zariski pairs and four Zariski triplets were found by using lattice theory of K3 surfaces. There is a Zariski triplet of which one member is a deformation of another.
We study the distribution of spacings between squares modulo q, where q is square-free and highly composite, in the limit as the number of prime factors of q goes to infinity. We show that all correlation functions are Poissonian, which…
This is a survey article on the Hardy-Littlewood conjecture about primes in quadratic progressions. We recount the history and quote some results approximating this hitherto unresolved conjecture.
We give more details to our examples in [9] of K3 surfaces over C such that they have infinite automorphism group but it preserves some elliptic pencil of the K3
Motivated by the relation between (twisted) K3 surfaces and special cubic fourfolds, we construct moduli spaces of polarized twisted K3 surfaces of any fixed degree and order. We do this by mimicking the construction of the moduli space of…
It has been conjectured by Sarkozy that with finitely many exceptions, the set of quadratic residues modulo a prime $p$ cannot be represented as a sumset $\{a+b\colon a\in A, b\in B\}$ with non-singleton sets $A,B\subset F_p$. The case…
