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…

We determine the N\'eron-Severi lattices of $K3$ hypersurfaces with large Picard number in toric three-folds derived from Fano polytopes. On each $K3$ surface, we introduce a particular elliptic fibration. In the proof of the main theorem,…

Elliptic fibrations of $K3$ surfaces belonging to the Ap\'ery-Fermi pencil ($Y_k$) may have $2$ or $3$-torsion sections defining on $(Y_k)$ automorphisms $\tau$ of order $2$ or $3$. First we consider $Y_{k}/\tau$ \ for some fibrations of…

We advance our understanding of the configurations of low degree smooth rational curves on (quasi-)polarized complex K3-surfaces. We apply our efficient approach to classify the configurations of at least 36 lines on K3-sextics with at…

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 consider real forms of relatively minimal rational surfaces F_m. Connected components of moduli of real non-singular curves in |-2K_{F_m}| had been classified recently for m=0, 1, 4 in math.AG/0312396. Applying similar methods, here we…

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.…

We consider the F-theory description of non-simply-connected gauge groups appearing in the E8 x E8 heterotic string. The analysis is closely tied to the arithmetic of torsion points on an elliptic curve. The general form of the…

We study sections of a Calabi-Yau threefold fibered over a curve by K3 surfaces. We show that there exist infinitely many isolated sections on certain K3 fibered Calabi-Yau threefolds and the subgroup of the N\'eron-Severi group generated…

Let S be a K3 surface that admits a non-symplectic automorphism $\rho$ of order 3. We divide $S\times \mathbb{P}^1$ by $\rho\times\psi$ where $\psi$ is an automorphism of order 3 of $\mathbb{P}^1$. There exists a threefold ramified cover of…

We classify primitive non-symplectic automorphisms of order 6 on K3 surfaces. We show how their study can be reduced to the study of non-symplectic automorphisms of order 3 and to a local analysis of the fixed loci. In particular, we…

The combinatorial type of an elliptic K3 surface with a zero section is the pair of the ADE -type of singular fibers and the torsion part of the Mordell-Weil group. We determine the set of connected components of the moduli of elliptic K3…

We give a systematic method to calculate some homological data from the global monodromy of a topological elliptic surface. We apply this method to the cases 1) the transcendental lattice of an extremal elliptic K3 surface, 2) the torsion…

In this article, we consider surfaces in the 3-dimensional Euclidean space E3 without parabolic points which are of finite II-type, that is, they are of finite type, in the sense of B.-Y. Chen, corresponding to the second fundamental form.…

In this dissertation classification problems for K3-surfaces with finite group actions are considered. Special emphasis is put on K3-surfaces with antisymplectic involutions and compatible actions of symplectic transformations. Given a…

We show that on every elliptic K3 surface $X$ there are rational curves $(R_i)_{i\in \mathbb{N}}$ such that $R_i^2 \to \infty$, i.e., of unbounded arithmetic genus. Moreover, we show that the union of the lifts of these curves to…

We give a complete classification of finite groups acting symplectically on supersingular K3 surfaces of Artin invariant one. Using work of Dolgachev and Keum, this provides the full classification of tame finite symplectic automorphism…

We give a complete equisingular deformation classification of simple spatial quartic surfaces which are in fact $K3$-surfaces.

In this paper we study a special class of fibrations on Delsarte surfaces. We call these fibrations Delsarte fibrations. We show that after a specific cyclic base change the fibration is the pull back of a fibration with three singular…

In this paper, we describe the spaces of stability conditions for the triangulated categories associated to three dimensional Calabi-Yau fibrations. We deal with two cases, the flat elliptic fibrations and smooth K3 (Abelian) fibrations. In…
