Let $f: \mathbb{A}^2 \to \mathbb{A}^2$ be a polynomial automorphism of dynamical degree $\delta \geq 2$ over a number field $K$. (This is equivalent to say that $f$ is a polynomial automorphism that is not triangularizable.) Then we…

We study the shapes of all Newton-Okounkov bodies $\Delta_{v}(D)$ of a given big divisor $D$ on a surface $S$ with respect to all rank 2 valuations $v$ of $K(S)$. We obtain upper bounds for, and in many cases we determine exactly, the…

Let $Y$ be a smooth Enriques surface. A $K3$ carpet on $Y$ is a locally Cohen-Macaulay double structure on $Y$ with the same invariants as a smooth $K3$ surface (i.e., regular and with trivial canonical sheaf). The surface $Y$ possesses an…

This paper is the sequel of our paper "Arithmetic height functions over finitely generated fields" (cf. math.NT/9809016). In this paper, we define the canonical height of subvarieties of an abelian variety over a finitely generated field…

We solve the Picard number problem for complex quintic surfaces by proving that every number between 1 and 45 occurs as Picard number of a quintic surface over the rationals. Our main technique consists in arithmetic deformations of…

In this paper we study the question whether the tri-canonical system on the Craighero-Gattazzo surface is base point free and at which points does it separate tangent vectors. Also we study the non-rationality of the normalization of the…

We introduce a conjecture on homological mirror symmetry relating the symplectic topology of the complement of a smooth ample divisor in a K3 surface to algebraic geometry of type III degenerations, and prove it when the degree of the…

Let $\mathscr{X} \rightarrow C$ be a non-isotrivial and generically ordinary family of K3 surfaces over a proper curve $C$ in characteristic $p \geq 5$. We prove that the geometric Picard rank jumps at infinitely many closed points of $C$.…

We construct several examples of genus-one fibered K3 surfaces without a global section with type $I_{n}$ fibers, by considering double covers of a special class of rational elliptic surfaces lacking a global section, known as Halphen…

By a theorem of Wahl, the canonically embedded curves which are hyperplane section of K3 surfaces are distinguished by the non-surjectivity of their Wahl map. In this paper we address the problem of distinguishing hyperplane sections of…

Let $X$ be a K3 surface with a polarization $H$ of the degree $H^2=2rs$, $r,s\ge 1$, and the isotropic Mukai vector $v=(r,H,s)$ is primitive. The moduli space of sheaves over $X$ with the isotropic Mukai vector $(r,H,s)$ is again a K3…

We use the Borisov-Keum equations of a fake projective plane and the Borisov-Yeung equations of the Cartwright-Steger surface to show the existence of a regular surface with canonical map of degree 36 and of an irregular surface with…

In this paper, we describe the Fourier-Mukai locus of the derived category of a complex algebraic K3 surface of Picard number one. We also prove that the Fourier-Mukai locus of the derived category of a complex algebraic K3 surface of…

Canonical heights and Arakelov geometry on semi-abelian varieties. In this paper, we propose a construction of the canonical heights on an extension of an abelian variety by the multiplicative group, in the framework of Arakelov geometry.…

We construct geometric isogenies between three types of two-parameter families of K3 surfaces of Picard rank 18. One is the family of Kummer surfaces associated with Jacobians of genus-two curves admitting an elliptic involution, another is…

In the present paper, we study surfaces in the four-dimensional Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^4$. We define special principal parameters, which we call canonical, on each surface without minimal points, and prove that the surface admits (at…

It has been conjectured that the optimal canonical degree of a minimal surface of general type is 36, from a work in the 70's of Beauville who proved that 36 was an upper bound. The highest canonical degree known for the problem was 16 by…

Green's Conjecture predicts than one can read off special linear series on an algebraic curve, by looking at the syzygies of its canonical embedding. We extend Voisin's results on syzygies of K3 sections, to the case of K3 surfaces with…

We investigate the universal Severi variety of rational curves on K3 surfaces, which parametrises irreducible rational curves in a fixed class on varying K3 surfaces of fixed genus. We investigate the conjecuted irreducibility of this space…

This paper concerns complex algebraic K3 surfaces with an automorphism which acts trivially on the Neron-Severi group. Complementing a result by Vorontsov and Kondo, we determine those K3 surfaces where the order of the automorphism is a…
