We determine the necessary and sufficient conditions on the entries of the intersection matrix of the transcendental lattice of a K3 surface for the K3 surface to doubly cover an Enriques surface.

A generalized Kummer surface $X=Km(T,G)$ is the resolution of a quotient of a torus $T$ by a finite group of symplectic automorphisms $G$. We complete the classification of generalized Kummer surfaces by studying the two last groups which…

By a K3-surface with nine cusps I mean a surface with nine isolated double points A_2, but otherwise smooth, such that its minimal desingularisation is a K3-surface. It is shown, that such a surface admits a cyclic triple cover branched…

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…

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 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 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…

A Shioda--Inose structure is a geometric construction which associates to an Abelian surface a projective K3 surface in such a way that their transcendental lattices are isometric. This geometric construction was described by Morrison by…

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…

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…

In this paper we show that there is a correspondence between some $K3$ surfaces with non-isometric transcendental lattices constructed as a twist of the transcendental lattice of the Jacobian of a generic genus 2 curve. Moreover, we show…

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…

We classify quadratic spaces over endomorphism fields of K3 surfaces. We consider both totally real and CM cases.

This paper classifies Enriques surfaces whose K3-cover is a fixed Picard-general Jacobian Kummer surface. There are exactly 31 such surfaces. We describe the free involutions which give these Enriques surfaces explicitly. As a biproduct, we…

In this note we prove analogues of the main theorems of complex multiplication for abelian varieties for K3 surfaces. This is done by studying the field of definition of the period morphism for complex K3 surfaces. More precisely we relate…

The classical Kummer construction attaches to an abelian surface a K3 surface. As Shioda and Katsura showed, this construction breaks down for supersingular abelian surfaces in characteristic two. Replacing supersingular abelian surfaces by…

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…

This paper gives upper and lower bounds for the degree of the field of definition of a singular K3 surface, generalising a recent result by Shimada. We use work of Shioda-Mitani and Shioda-Inose and classical theory of complex…

We describe the possible 3-divisible $A_2^n$ configurations of smooth rational curves on K3 surfaces in characteristic 3 and fully classify the resulting triple covers.

We show the existence of a complex K3 surface $X$ which is not a Kummer surface and has a one-parameter family of Levi-flat hypersurfaces in which all the leaves are dense. We construct such $X$ by patching two open complex surfaces…
