The Shafarevich conjecture for K3 surfaces asserts the finiteness of isomorphism classes of K3 surfaces over a fixed number field admitting good reduction away from a fixed finite set of finite places. Andr\'{e} proved this conjecture for…

We study threefolds fibred by K3 surfaces admitting a lattice polarization by a certain class of rank 19 lattices. We begin by showing that any family of such K3 surfaces is completely determined by a map from the base of the family to the…

Let $f(z)=z^5+az^3+bz^2+cz+d \in \Z[z]$ and let us consider a del Pezzo surface of degree one given by the equation $\cal{E}_{f}: x^2-y^3-f(z)=0$. In this note we prove that if the set of rational points on the curve $E_{a,…

We calculate the dimension of the locus of elliptic surfaces over P^1 with a section and a given Picard number, in the corresponding moduli space.

We prove the unpolarized Shafarevich conjecture for K3 surfaces: the set of isomorphism classes of K3 surfaces over a fixed number field with good reduction away from a fixed and finite set of places is finite. Our proof is based on the…

Polarized K3 surfaces of genus sixteen have a Mukai vector bundle of rank two. We study the geometry of the projectivization of this bundle. We prove that it has an embedding in $\mathbb{P}_9$ with an ideal generated by quadrics. We give an…

Motivated by a question of Baldi-Klingler-Ullmo, we provide a general sufficient criterion for the existence and analytic density of typical Hodge loci associated to a polarizable $\mathbb{Z}$-variation of Hodge structures $\mathbb{V}$. Our…

We prove that there exist smooth surfaces of degree d in projective 3-space such that the group of rational equivalence classes of decomposable 0-cycles has rank at least the integer part of (d-1)/3.

Let $k$ be a field of characteristic $0$. In this paper we describe a classification of smooth log K3 surfaces $X$ over $k$ whose geometric Picard group is trivial and which can be compactified into del Pezzo surfaces. We show that such an…

We show that any polarized K3 surface supports special Ulrich bundles of rank 2.

We show that the K-moduli spaces of log Fano pairs $(\mathbb{P}^3, cS)$ where $S$ is a quartic surface interpolate between the GIT moduli space of quartic surfaces and the Baily-Borel compactification of moduli of quartic K3 surfaces as $c$…

We investigate the modular properties of nodal curves on a low genus K3 surface. We prove that a general genus g curve C is the normalization of a d-nodal curve X sitting on a primitively polarized K3 surface S of degree 2p-2, for p any…

Nikulin and Vinberg proved that there are only a finite number of lattices of rank $\geq 3$ that are the N\'eron-Severi group of projective K3 surfaces with a finite automorphism group. The aim of this paper is to provide a more geometric…

Let $\mathfrak B_g$ denote the moduli space of primitively polarized $K3$ surfaces $(S,H)$ of genus $g$ over $\mathbb C$. It is well-known that $\mathfrak B_g$ is irreducible and that there are only finitely many rational curves in $|H|$…

We outline a method to compute rational models for the Hilbert modular surfaces Y_{-}(D), which are coarse moduli spaces for principally polarized abelian surfaces with real multiplication by the ring of integers in Q(sqrt{D}), via moduli…

Smooth primitively polarized $\mathrm{K3}$ surfaces of genus 36 are studied. It is proved that all such surfaces $S$, for which there exists an embedding $\mathrm{R} \hookrightarrow \mathrm{Pic}(S)$ of some special lattice $\mathrm{R}$ of…

We establish a relationship between mirror symmetry for K3 surfaces and Arnold's strange duality for K3 surfaces. We compute various examples of mirror families. Among them the mirror moduli family for the moduli space of degree 2n…

We prove that the moduli spaces A_3(D) of polarized abelian threefolds with polarizations of types D=(1,1,2), (1,2,2), (1,1,3) or (1,3,3) are unirational. The result is based on the study of families of simple coverings of elliptic curves…

For infinitely many $d$, Hassett showed that special cubic fourfolds of discriminant $d$ are related to polarized K3 surfaces of degree $d$ via their Hodge structures. For half of the $d$, each associated K3 surface $(S,L)$ canonically…

The aim of this paper is to estimate the irrationality of moduli spaces of hyperk\"ahler manifolds of types K3$^{[n]}$, Kum$_{n}$, OG6, and OG10. We prove that the degrees of irrationality of these moduli spaces are bounded from above by a…
