Motivated by the Swampland Distance and the Emergent String Conjecture of Quantum Gravity, we analyse the infinite distance degenerations in the complex structure moduli space of elliptic K3 surfaces. All complex degenerations of K3…

Let $k$ be a number field. We give an explicit bound, depending only on $[k:\mathbf{Q}]$ and the discriminant of the N\'{e}ron--Severi lattice, on the size of the Brauer group of a K3 surface $X/k$ that is geometrically isomorphic to the…

This article primarily aims at classifying, on certain K3 surfaces, the elliptic fibrations induced by conic bundles on smooth del Pezzo surfaces. The key geometric tool employed is the Alexeev-Nikulin correspondence between del Pezzo…

It has recently become apparent that the elliptic genera of K3 surfaces (and their symmetric products) are intimately related to the Igusa cusp form of weight ten. In this contribution, I survey this connection with an emphasis on string…

We study isogeny relations between K3 surfaces and Kummer surfaces. Specifically, we prove a Torelli-type theorem for the existence of rational maps from K3 surfaces to Kummer surfaces, and a Kummer sandwich theorem for K3 surfaces with…

This paper is concerned with the arithmetic of the elliptic K3 surface with configuration [1,1,1,12,3*]. We determine the newforms and zeta-functions associated to X and its twists. We verify conjectures of Tate and Shioda for the…

We compute the genus one family Gromov-Witten invariants of K3 surfaces for non-primitive classes. These calculations verify Gottsche-Yau-Zaslow formula for non-primitive classes with index two. Our approach is to use the genus two…

In this paper, we classify all the K3 surfaces covering a Kummer surface. Our classification is expressed in terms of period lattices and extends Morrison's criterion of K3 surfaces with a Shioda-Inose structure. Moreover, we list all the…

Let $X$ be an elliptic K3 surface endowed with two distinct Jacobian elliptic fibrations $\pi_i$, $i=1,2$, defined over a number field $k$. We prove that there is an elliptic curve $C\subset X$ such that the generic rank over $k$ of $X$…

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 compute all the "special" cases of (3,3)-split Jacobians and we parametrize the Igusa-Clebsch invariants of curves of genus two whose Jacobian is (3,3)-isogenous to a product of two elliptic curves from the Hesse pencil.

In this paper we complete the classification of the elliptic fibrations on K3 surfaces which admit a non-symplectic involution acting trivially on the N\'eron--Severi group. We use the geometric method introduced by Oguiso and moreover we…

We describe explicit formulas relevant to the F-theory/heterotic string duality that reconstruct from a specific Jacobian elliptic fibration on the Shioda-Inose surface covering a generic Kummer surface the corresponding genus-two curve…

Given a generic $K3$ surface $Y_k$ of the Ap\'ery-Fermi pencil, we use the Kneser-Nishiyama technique to determine all its non isomorphic elliptic fibrations. These computations lead to determine those fibrations with 2-torsion sections T.…

The order of a constant cycle curve $C \subset X$ on a K3 surface, defined by Huybrechts, is a positive integer that measures the obstruction to decomposing the diagonal class $\Delta_C$ in the Chow group $\mathrm{CH}^2(X \times C)$. In…

Let $S$ be a K3 surface with primitive curve class $\beta$. We solve the relative Gromov-Witten theory of $S \times \mathbb{P}^1$ in classes $(\beta,1)$ and $(\beta,2)$. The generating series are quasi-Jacobi forms and equal to a…

Nikulin and Vinberg proved that there are only a finite number of lattices of rank $\geq 3$ that are the N\'eron-Severi group of projective K3 surfaces with a finite automorphism group. The aim of this paper is to provide a more geometric…

Let W -> A^2 be the universal Weierstrass family of cubic curves over C. For each N >= 2, we construct surfaces parametrizing the three standard kinds of level N structures on the smooth fibers of W. We then complete these surfaces to…

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…

We show that supersingular K3 surfaces in characteristic $p\geq5$ are related sequences of very special correspondences. This is not enough to conclude that they are unirational. As a byproduct, we exhibit a fibration structure on the…
