An example of potential density of rational points on the second punctual Hilbert scheme of certain K3 surfaces is treated in detail. This is an amplification of some remarks made by O'Grady and Oguiso.
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…
We determine the crossing number of polynomial size curve systems on standard surfaces, in terms of the genus, up to high precision.
This survey gives a brief overview of theoretically and practically relevant algorithms to compute geodesic paths and distances on three-dimensional surfaces. The survey focuses on polyhedral three-dimensional surfaces.
We review some of the interplay between mirror symmetry and K3 surfaces.
We prove that the number of legendrian rational cubics in $\mathbb C P^3$ through three generic points and a line is three; also we classify all legendrian curves on a quadric surface. Several computations are additionally verified using…
In response to a question of Reid, we find all anti-canonical Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces $X$ in toric weighted projective bundles over the projective line where the general fiber is a weighted K3 hypersurface. This gives a direct…
This paper considers the problem of testing whether there exists a non-negative solution to a possibly under-determined system of linear equations with known coefficients. This hypothesis testing problem arises naturally in a number of…
The disk complex of a surface in a 3-manifold is used to define its {\it topological index}. Surfaces with well-defined topological index are shown to generalize well-known classes, such as incompressible, strongly irreducible, and critical…
We propose a novel way of computing surface folding maps via solving a linear PDE. This framework is a generalization to the existing quasiconformal methods and allows manipulation of the geometry of folding. Moreover, the crucial quantity…
We investigate geometric properties of surfaces given by certain formulae. In particular, we calculate the singular curvature and the limiting normal curvature of such surfaces along the set of singular points consisting of singular points…
We improve a bound due to the second author on number of rational points on smooth surfaces in $\mathbb{P}^3$ over finite fields and look at families of surfaces that achieve or nearly achieve this bound, for which we compute their exact…
We describe a method to show that certain elliptic surfaces do not admit purely inseparable multisections (equivalently, that genus one curves over function fields admit no points over the perfect closure of the base field) and use it to…
This is an expository paper which aims to give a simple proof of the existence of Ricci-flat metrics on certain K3 surfaces, as an illustration of general "glueing" techniques.
We give a complete classification of finite subgroups of automorphisms of K3 surfaces up to deformation. The classification is in terms of Hodge theoretic data associated to certain conjugacy classes of finite subgroups of the orthogonal…
In this paper we study the general affine differential geometry of surfaces in affine space $A^3$. For a regular elliptical surface we define a moving frame of minimal order and get the complete system of differential invariants. As an…
We study the connection between the generation of a fat point scheme supported at general points in the plane and the behaviour of the cotangent bundle with respect to some rational curves particularly relevant for the scheme. We put…
We propose a combinatorial method of proving non-specialty of a linear system of curves with multiple points in general positions. As an application we obtain a classification of special linear systems on P1xP1 for which the multiplicities…
We study hyperplane sections of smooth polarized $K3$-surfaces that split into unions of lines. We describe the dual adjacency graphs of such sections and find sharp upper bounds on their number. In most cases (starting from degree $6$), we…
We use classification of non-symplectic automorphisms of K3 surfaces to obtain a partial classification of log del Pezzo surfaces of index three. We can classify those with "Multiple Smooth Divisor Property", whose definition we will give.…
