We classify Enriques involutions on a K3 surface, up to conjugation in the automorphism group, in terms of lattice theory. We enumerate such involutions on singular K3 surfaces with transcendental lattice of discriminant smaller than or…

Let $X$ be a nonempty real variety that is invariant under the action of a reflection group $G$. We conjecture that if $X$ is defined in terms of the first $k$ basic invariants of $G$ (ordered by degree), then $X$ meets a $k$-dimensional…

We give construction of singular K3 surfaces with discriminant 3 and 4 as double coverings over the projective plane. Focusing on the similarities in their branching loci, we can generalize this construction, and obtain a three dimensional…

Let G be a connected complex simple Lie group with maximal compact subgroup U. Let g be the Lie algebra of G, and X = G/U be the associated Riemannian globally symmetric space of type IV. We have constructed three types of arithmetic…

In this paper, first we obtain an explicit formula for an outer commutator multiplier of nilpotent products of cyclic groups with respect to the variety $[\mathfrak{N}_{c_1},\mathfrak{N}_{c_2}]$, $\mathfrak{N}_{c}M(\mathbb{Z}\st{n}*…

Constant cycle curves on a K3 surface $X$ over $\mathbb{C}$ have been introduced by Huybrechts (2014) as curves whose points all define the same class in the Chow group. In this paper we study correspondences $Z \subseteq X\times X$ over…

We study the multiplication operation of square matrices over lattices. If the underlying lattice is distributive, then matrices form a semigroup; we investigate idempotent and nilpotent elements and the maximal subgroups of this matrix…

For a K3 surface of finite height over a field of odd characteristic, there exists a smooth lifting to the ring of Witt vectors such that the reduction map from the Picard group of the generic fiber to the Picard group of the special fiber…

Nikulin proved that the isometries induced on the second cohomology group of a K3 surface $X$ by a finite abelian group $G$ of symplectic automorphisms are essentially unique. Moreover he computed the discriminant of the sublattice of…

We investigate a certain linear combination $K(\vec{x})=K(a;b,c,d;e,f,g)$ of two Saalschutzian hypergeometric series of type ${_4}F_3(1)$. We first show that $K(a;b,c,d;e,f,g)$ is invariant under the action of a certain matrix group $G_K$,…

Adapting methods of previous papers by A. Sarti and the author, we construct K3 surfaces from invariants of the Weyl group of type $\Erm_6$. We study in details one of these surfaces, which turns out to have Picard number $20$: for this…

We study K3 surfaces with complex multiplication following the classical work of Shimura on CM abelian varieties. After we translate the problem in terms of the arithmetic of the CM field and its id\`{e}les, we proceed to study some abelian…

We classify elliptic K3 surfaces in characteristic $p$ with $p^n$-torsion sections. For $p^n\geq3$ we verify conjectures of Artin and Shioda, compute the heights of their formal Brauer groups, as well as Artin invariants and Mordell--Weil…

We classify non-symplectic automorphisms of odd prime order on irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifolds which are deformations of Hilbert schemes of any number n of points on K3 surfaces, extending results already known for n=2. In…

Let K/F be a cyclic extension of prime degree l over a number field F. If F has class number coprime to l, we study the structure of the l-Sylow subgroup of the class group of K. In particular, when F contains the l-th roots of unity, we…

Let $G$ be a finite group, $L_1(G)$ be its poset of cyclic subgroups and consider the quantity $\alpha(G)=\frac{|L_1(G)|}{|G|}$. The aim of this paper is to study the class $\cal{C}$ of finite nilpotent groups having…

We extend the construction of upsilon-type invariants to null-homologous knots in rational homology three-spheres. By considering $m$-fold cyclic branched covers with $m$ a prime power, this extension provides new knot concordance…

Let K be the kernel of an epimorphism G -> Z, where G is a finitely presented group. If K has infinitely many subgroups of index 2, 3, or 4, then it has uncountably many. Moreover, if K is the commutator subgroup of a classical knot group…

In characteristic $0$, symplectic automorphisms of K3 surfaces (i.e.\ automorphisms preserving the global $2$-form) and non-symplectic ones behave differently. In this paper we consider the actions of the group schemes $\mu_{n}$ on K3…

For a K3 surface over an algebraically closed field of odd characteristic, the representation of the automorphism group on the global two forms is finite. If the K3 surface is supersingular, it is isomorphic to the representation on the…
