We study complex algebraic K3 surfaces of Picard ranks 11,12, and 13 of finite automorphism group that admit a Jacobian elliptic fibration with a section of order two. We prove that the K3 surfaces admit a birational model isomorphic to 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 prove that any hyper-K\"{a}hler sixfold $K$ of generalized Kummer type has a naturally associated manifold $Y_K$ of $\mathrm{K}3^{[3]}$-type. It is obtained as crepant resolution of the quotient of $K$ by a group of symplectic…

In this paper we study the automorphisms group of some $K3$ surfaces which are double covers of the projective plane ramified over a smooth sextic plane curve. More precisely, we study the case of a $K3$ surface of Picard rank two such that…

In arXiv:2409.03960, we introduced an approach to the question of extendability of projective varieties via degeneration to ribbons. In this article we build on these methods to give a new proof of optimal results on the extendability of…

Let $X$ be a K3 surface which doubly covers an Enriques surface $S$. If $n\in\mathbb{N}$ is an odd number, then the Hilbert scheme of $n$-points $X^{[n]}$ admits a natural quotient $S_{[n]}$. This quotient is an Enriques manifold in the…

We exhibit large families of K3 surfaces with real multiplication, both abstractly using lattice theory, the Torelli theorem and the surjectivity of the period map, as well as explicitly using dihedral covers and isogenies.

Let X be a K3 surface of degree 8 in P^5 with hyperplane section H. We associate to it another K3 surface M which is a double cover of P^2 ramified on a sextic curve C. In the generic case when X is smooth and a complete intersection of…

We generalize the multiple cover formula of Y. Toda (proved by Maulik-Thomas) for counting invariants for semistable coherent sheaves on local K3 surfaces to semistable twisted sheaves over twisted local K3 surfaces. The formula has an…

We study threefolds X in a projective space having as hyperplane section a smooth surface with an elliptic fibration. We first give a general theorem about the possible embeddings of such surfaces with Picard number two. More precise…

Let X be a K3 surface which is intersection of three (a net P^2) of quadrics in P^5. The curve of degenerate quadrics has degree 6 and defines a double covering of P^2 K3 surface Y ramified in this curve. This is a classical example of a…

A well-known theorem of Kulikov, Persson and Pinkham states that a degeneration of a family of K3-surfaces with trivial monodromy can be completed to a smooth family. We give a simple example that an analogous statement does not hold for…

We continue our study on the hypergeometric system $E(3,6)$ which describes period integrals of the double cover family of K3 surfaces. Near certain special boundary points in the moduli space of the K3 surfaces, we construct the local…

We use automorphic forms to prove that a compact family of Kaehler K3 surfaces with constant Picard number is isotrivial.

We prove gap theorems for entropy norms on automorphism groups of K3 surfaces, Enriques surfaces, and irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifolds. We also study the achirality of automorphisms of K3 surfaces and Enriques surfaces in terms…

This paper studies curves on quartic K3 surfaces, or more generally K3 surfaces which are complete intersection in weighted projective spaces. A folklore conjecture concerning rational curves on K3 surfaces states that all K3 surfaces…

The conjectural equivalence of curve counting on Calabi-Yau 3-folds via stable maps and stable pairs is discussed. By considering Calabi-Yau 3-folds with K3 fibrations, the correspondence naturally connects curve and sheaf counting on K3…

We study the arithmetic of Enriques surfaces whose universal covers are singular K3 surfaces. If a singular K3 surface X has discriminant d, then it has a model over the ring class field d. Our main theorem is that the same holds true for…

We construct K3 surfaces over number fields that have good reduction everywhere. These do not exists over the rational numbers, by results of Abrashkin and Fontaine. Our surfaces exist for three quadratic number fields, and an infinite…

In a Type III degeneration of K3-surfaces the dual graph of the central fibre is a triangulation of the 2-sphere. We realise the tetrahedral, octahedral and especially the icosahedral triangulation in families of K3-surfaces, preferably…
