We introduce explicit construction methods for two distinct birational models of elliptic surfaces equipped with a bisection --- or, more generally, a relative polarisation of degree two --- and double fibres. For Halphen surfaces of index two and Enriques surfaces, we illustrate how these give simple descriptions inside a toric variety.
A general net of quadric surfaces, together with a choice of a base point, defines a net of plane cubics via the Gale transformation of the remaining seven base points. To both nets, one can also naturally associate the same smooth plane quartic. In this paper, we generalize the cycle of correspondences arising from nets of quadrics that define rational elliptic threefolds and provide a complete criterion for GIT stability of the three underlying geometric objects using birational-geometric techniques.
A rational elliptic surface with section is a smooth, rational, complex, projective surface $\mathcal{X}$ that admits a relatively minimal fibration $f: \mathcal{X}\longrightarrow \bbP^1$ such that its general fibre is a smooth irreducible curve of genus one and $f$ has a section. In this paper, we classify rational elliptic surfaces with section that have exactly six singular fibres, each counted with multiplicity two. The fibres that appear with multiplicity exactly two are either of type $II$ or of type $I_2$ of the Kodaira classification. We interpret our classification from various viewpoints: a pencil of plane cubic curves, the Weierstrass equation, a double cover of $\bbF_2$ branched over an appropriate trisection of the ruling of $\bbF_2$ plus the negative section, a double cover of the plane branched along a quartic curve, plus the datum of a point on the plane. Moreover, either we give explicit normal forms for the plane quartic curve, or we indicate how to find it.
We compute the symplectic cohomology of Milnor fibers of isolated quasihomogeneous cAn singularities . In addition, we use our computations to distinguish their links as contact manifolds and to provide further evidence to a conjecture of Evans and Lekili.
We consider the problem of classifying linear systems of hypersurfaces (of a fixed degree) in some projective space up to projective equivalence via geometric invariant theory (GIT). We provide an explicit criterion that solves the problem completely. As an application, we consider a few relevant geometric examples recovering, for instance, Miranda's description of the GIT stability of pencils of plane cubics. Furthermore, we completely describe the GIT stability of Halphen pencils of any index.
In this paper we present a classification of non-symplectic automorphisms of K3 surfaces whose order is a multiple of seven by describing the topological type of their fixed locus. In the case of purely non-symplectic automorphisms, we provide new results for order 14 and alternative proofs for orders 21, 28 and 42, so that we can unify in the same paper the results on these automorphisms. For each of these orders we also consider not purely non-symplectic automorphisms and obtain a complete characterization of their fixed loci. Several results of our paper were obtained independently in a recent paper by Brandhorst and Hofmann, but the methods used in the two papers are completely different.
In this paper we construct a moduli space for marked rational elliptic surfaces of index two as a non-complete toric variety of dimension nine. We also construct compactifications of this moduli space, which are obtained as quotients of $\mathbb{A}^{12}$ by an action of $\mathbb{G}_m^3$.
We study the stability of pencils of plane sextics in the sense of geometric invariant theory. In particular, we obtain a complete and geometric description of the stability of Halphen pencils of index two.
In this paper we study the problem of classifying pencils of curves of degree $d$ in $\mathbb{P}^2$ using geometric invariant theory. We consider the action of $SL(3)$ and we relate the stability of a pencil to the stability of its generators, to the log canonical threshold of its members, and to the multiplicities of its base points, thus obtaining explicit stability criteria.
We construct rational elliptic surfaces of index two by explicitly constructing their associated Halphen pencils in the projective plane $\mathbb{P}^2$. For each of the types of singular fibers that occur we construct at least one example having that type of fiber and in fact, for some, we construct all possible examples. We establish a precise dictionary between the fibers in a rational elliptic surface and the corresponding plane curves and, in particular, we study the singularities of the curves appearing in a Halphen pencil.
