In 1972, Kainen proved a general lower bound on the crossing number of a graph in a closed surface and conjectured that this bound is tight when the graph is either a complete graph or a complete bipartite graph, and the surface is of genus…

This article primarily aims at classifying, on certain K3 surfaces, the elliptic fibrations induced by conic bundles on smooth del Pezzo surfaces. The key geometric tool employed is the Alexeev-Nikulin correspondence between del Pezzo…

We show several examples of integrable systems related to special K3 and rational surfaces (e.g., an elliptic K3 surface, a K3 surface given by a double covering of the projective plane, a rational elliptic surface, etc.). The construction,…

We develop a novel approach to the Brill-Noether theory of curves endowed with a degree k cover of the projective line via Bridgeland stability conditions on elliptic K3 surfaces. We first develop the Brill-Noether theory on elliptic K3…

We complete the remaining cases of the conjecture predicting existence of infinitely many rational curves on K3 surfaces in characteristic zero, prove almost all cases in positive characteristic and improve the proofs of the previously…

In a previous paper, math.AG/0409419, we described six families of K3-surfaces with Picard-number 19, and we identified surfaces with Picard-number 20. In these notes we classify some of the surfaces by computing their transcendental…

The Beauville-Voisin conjecture predicts the existence of a filtration on projective hyper-K\"ahler manifolds opposite to the conjecture Bloch-Beilinson filtration, called the Beauivlle-Voisin filtration. Voisin has introduced a filtration…

We prove a strong analogue of Liouville's Theorem in Diophantine approximation for points on arbitrary algebraic varieties. We use this theorem to prove a conjecture of the first author for cubic surfaces in $\P^3$.

In this paper we classify the elliptic fibrations on K3 surfaces which are the double cover of a blow up of $\mathbb{P}^2$ branched along rational curves and we give equations for many of these elliptic fibrations. Thus we obtain a…

This short note contains an example of a 4-dimensional family of K3 surfaces having finite-dimensional motive. Some consequences are presented, for instance the verification of a conjecture of Voisin (concerning 0-cycles on the…

Motivated by the question of rationality of cubic fourfolds, we show that a cubic X has an associated K3 surface in the sense of Hassett if and only if the variety F of lines on X is birational to a moduli space of sheaves on a K3 surface,…

Let $X$ be a cubic surface over a global field $k$. We prove that a Brauer-Manin obstruction to the existence of $k$-points on $X$ will persist over every extension $L/k$ with degree relatively prime to $3$. In other words, a cubic surface…

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.

We study K3 surfaces over non-closed fields and relate the notion of derived equivalence to arithmetic problems.

We prove by variational means the existence of a complete, properly embedded, genus-one minimal surface in R^3 that is asymptotic to a helicoid at infinity. We also prove existence of surfaces that are asymptotic to a helicoid away from the…

We investigate boundedness results for families of holomorphic symplectic varieties up to birational equivalence. We prove the analogue of Zarhin's trick by for $K3$ surfaces by constructing big line bundles of low degree on certain moduli…

The Beilinson-Hodge conjecture asserts the surjectivity of the cycle map $$H^n_M(X,\Q(n)) \to {\rm Hom}_{MHS}(\Q(-n),H^n(X,\Q))$$ for all positive integers $n$ and every smooth complex algebraic variety $X$. For $n=2$, we prove the…

A noncommutative deformation of a quadric surface is usually described by a three-dimensional cubic Artin-Schelter regular algebra. In this paper we show that for such an algebra its bounded derived category embeds into the bounded derived…

The notion of constant cycle curves on K3 surfaces is introduced. These are curves that do not contribute to the Chow group of the ambient K3 surface. Rational curves are the most prominent examples. We show that constant cycle curves…

Let $\mathcal{W}\subset\mathbb{P}^1\times\mathbb{P}^1\times\mathbb{P}^1$ be a surface given by the vanishing of a $(2,2,2)$-form. These surfaces admit three involutions coming from the three projections…
