It was proved by Tien-Cuong Dinh and me that there is a smooth complex projective surface whose automorphism group is discrete and not finitely generated. In this paper, we will show that there is a smooth projective surface, birational to…

An integral hyperbolic lattice is called reflective if its automorphism group is generated by reflections, up to finite index. Since 1981, it is known that their number is essentially finite. We show that K3 surfaces over C with reflective…

For any field k of characteristic at most 5 we exhibit an explicit smooth quartic surface in projective threespace over k with trivial automorphism group over the algebraic closure of k. We also show how this can be extended to higher…

A complex K3 surface or an algebraic K3 surface in characteristics distinct from $2$ cannot have more than $16$ disjoint nodal curves.

We present a complete list of extremal elliptic K3 surfaces. There are altogether 325 of them. The first 112 coincides with Miranda-Persson's list for semi-stable ones. The data include the transcendental lattice which determines uniquely…

If a K3 surface admits an automorphism with a Siegel disk, then its Picard number is an even integer between $0$ and $18$. Conversely, using the method of hypergeometric groups, we are able to construct K3 surface automorphisms with Siegel…

We investigate configurations of rational double points with the total Milnor number 21 on supersingular $K3$ surfaces. The complete list of possible configurations is given. As an application, we also give the complete list of extremal…

In any characteristic different from 2 and 5, Kond\=o gave an example of a K3 surface with a purely non-symplectic automorphism of order 50. The surface was explicitly given as a double plane branched along a smooth sextic curve. In this…

The aim of this paper is to give necessary and sufficient conditions for an integral polynomial to be the characteristic polynomial of a semi-simple isometry of some even unimodular lattice of given signature. This result has applications…

We determine the possible finite groups $G$ of symplectic automorphisms of hyperk\"ahler manifolds which are deformation equivalent to the second Hilbert scheme of a K3 surface. We prove that $G$ has such an action if, and only if, it is…

Let p be a prime integer, and q a power of p. The Ballico-Hefez curve is a non-reflexive nodal rational plane curve of degree q+1 in characteristic p. We investigate its automorphism group and defining equation. We also prove that the…

We study the surface arising from the diophantine equation $m^3+(m+1)^3+...+(m+k-1)^3=l^2$. It turns out that this is a $K3$ surface with Picard number 20. We stduy its aritmetic properties in detail. We construct elliptic fibrations on it,…

We construct explicitly moduli curves of polarized supersingular K3 surfaces in characteristic 2 with Artin invariant 2. As an application, we detect a "jump" phenomenon in a family of automorphism groups of supersingular K3 surfaces with a…

Let us consider the rank 14 lattice $P=D_4^3\oplus < -2> \oplus < 2>$. We define a K3 surface S of type P with the property that $P\subset {\rm Pic}(S) $, where ${\rm Pic}(S) $ indicates the Picard lattice of S. In this article we study the…

We introduce Kummer surfaces X=Km(CxC) with the group scheme G=mu_2 acting on the self-product of the rational cuspidal curve in characteristic two. The resulting quotients are normal surfaces having a configuration of sixteen rational…

By a lattice theoretic approach, Brandhorst--Hashimoto has made the list of K3 surfaces with finite groups of automorphisms which properly contain a maximal symplectic automorphism group. We give $3$ different explicit descriptions to the…

We study families of $K3$ surfaces obtained by double covering of the projective plane branching along curves of $(2,3)$-torus type. In the first part, we study the Picard lattices of the families, and a lattice duality of them. In the…

Let $k$ be either a number a field or a function field over $\mathbb{Q}$ with finitely many variables. We present a practical algorithm to compute the geometric Picard lattice of a K3 surface over $k$ of degree $2$, i.e., a double cover of…
