Picard group of a K3 surface generated by a curve
In Lazarsfeld's article "Brill Noether Petri without degenerations" he mentions the fact that for any integer $g \geq 2$, one may find a K3 surface $X$ and a curve $C$ of genus $g$ on $X$ such that ...

construct the elliptic fibration of elliptic k3 surface
Hi all,
As we know, every elliptic k3 surface admits an elliptic fibration over $P^1$, but generally how do we construct this fibration? For example, how to get such a fibration for Fermat quartic?
...

Vector field on a K3 surface with 24 zeroes
In https://mathoverflow.net/a/44885/4177, Tilman points out that one can use a $K3$ surface minus the zeroes of a generic vector field to build a nullcobordism for $24[SU(2)]$. Given that a) this is a ...

Is the mirror of a hyperkaehler manifold always a hyperkaehler manifold?
Is the mirror of a hyperkaehler manifold always a hyperkaehler manifold?
What I know so far is as follows:
In this paper (https://arxiv.org/pdf/hep-th/9512195.pdf) by Verbitsky, it is claimed that ...

Mirror symmetry for polarized abelian surfaces and Shioda-Inose K3s
It is well known (cf. Dolgachev) that there is a beautiful notion of mirror symmetry for lattice-polarized K3 surfaces. That is, if we are given a rank $r$ lattice $M$ of signature $(1, r - 1)$ and a ...

Is there a purely inseparable covering $\mathbb{A}^2 \to K$ of a Kummer surface $K$ over $\mathbb{F}_{p^2}$?
Let $E_i\!: y_i^2 = x_i^3 + a_4x_i + a_6$ be two copies ($i = 1$, $2$) of a supersingular elliptic curve over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{p^2}$, for odd prime $p > 3$. Consider the Kummer surface $...

Singular models of K3 surfaces
Let us work over a ground field of characteristic zero. As is well-known, a K3 surface is a smooth projective geometrically integral surface $X$ whose canonical class $\omega_X$ is trivial and for ...

Intuition behind RDP (Rational Double Points)
Let $S$ be a surface (so a $2$-dimensional proper $k$-scheme) and $s$ a singular point which is a rational double point.
One common characterisation of a RDP is that under sufficient conditions there ...

(1/2) K3 surface or half-K3 surface: Ways to think about it?
I heard from string theorists thinking of the so-called "(1/2) K3 surface" or "half-K3 surface" as follows:
Let $T^2 \times S^1$ be a 3-torus with spin structure periodic in all directions. $T^2 \...
