Calabi-Yau complete intersections associated to good pairs of generalized nef partitions

We introduce the notion of good pair of generalized nef partitions to describe Calabi-Yau complete intersections in Q-Fano toric varieties whose equations do not necessarily have maximal Newton polytopes. Moreover, we define a natural duality between them which generalizes Batyrev-Borisov mirror duality and allows to define a generalization of Berglund-H\"ubsch-Krawitz duality to quasismooth complete intersections.

On strictly elliptic K3 surfaces and del Pezzo surfaces

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 surfaces with log-terminal singularities of Gorenstein index two and K3 surfaces with non-symplectic involutions of elliptic type: the latter surfaces are realized as appropriate double covers obtained from the former ones. The main application of this correspondence is in the study of linear systems that induce elliptic fibrations on K3 surfaces admitting a strictly elliptic non-symplectic involution, i.e., whose fixed locus consists of a single curve of genus $g\geq 2$. The obtained results are similar to those achieved by Garbagnati and Salgado for jacobian elliptic fibrations.

The Fano variety of lines on singular cyclic cubic fourfolds

We study the symplectic resolution of the Fano variety of lines on some singular cyclic cubic fourfolds, i.e. cubic fourfolds arising as cyclic 3:1 cover of $\mathbb{P}^4$ branched along a cubic threefold. In particular we are interested in the geometry of these varieties in the case of cyclic cubic fourfolds branched along a cubic threefold having one isolated singularity of type $A_i$ for $i=2,3,4$. On these symplectic resolutions we find a non-symplectic automorphism of order three induced by the covering automorphism.

Irreducible Holomorphic Symplectic manifolds with an action of $\mathbb Z^4_3 : \mathcal A_6$

Höhn and Mason classified the possible symplectic groups acting on an Irreducible Holomorphic Symplectic (IHS) manifold of K3$^{[2]}$-type, finding that $\mathbb Z_3^4 : \mathcal A_6$ is the symplectic group with the biggest order. In this paper, we study the possible IHS manifolds of K3$^{[2]}$-type with a symplectic action of $\mathbb Z_3^4 : \mathcal A_6$ and also admitting a non-symplectic automorphism. We characterize such IHS manifolds. In particular we prove that there exists a IHS manifold of K3$^{[2]}$-type with finite automorphism group of order 174960, the biggest possible order for the automorphism group of a IHS manifold of K3$^{[2]}$-type, and it is the Fano variety of lines of the Fermat cubic fourfold.

K3 surfaces with action of the group $M_{20}$

It was shown by Mukai that the maximum order of a finite group acting faithfully and symplectically on a K3 surface is 960 and if such a group has order 960, then it is isomorphic to the Mathieu group $M_{20}$. In this paper, we are interested in projective K3 surfaces admitting a faithful symplectic action of the group $M_{20}$. We show that there are infinitely many K3 surfaces with this action and we describe them and their projective models, giving some explicit examples.

Non-symplectic automorphisms of order multiple of seven on K3 surfaces

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.

Non-symplectic automorphisms of K3 surfaces with one-dimensional moduli space

The moduli space of K3 surfaces $X$ with a purely non-symplectic automorphism $σ$ of order $n\geq 2$ is one dimensional exactly when $φ(n)=8$ or $10$. In this paper we classify and give explicit equations for the very general members $(X,σ)$ of the irreducible components of maximal dimension of such moduli spaces. In particular we show that there is a unique one-dimensional component for $n=20,22, 24$, three irreducible components for $n=15$ and two components in the remaining cases.

On some K3 surfaces with order sixteen automorphism

We consider K3 surfaces of Picard rank 14 which admit a purely nonsymplectic automorphism of order 16. The automorphism acts on the second cohomology group with integer coefficients and we compute the invariant sublattice for the action. We show that all of these K3 surfaces admit an elliptic fibration and we compute the invariant lattices in a geometric way by using special curves of the elliptic fibration. The computation of these lattices plays an important role when one wants to study moduli spaces and mirror symmetry for lattice polarized K3 surfaces.

Quasismoooth hypersurfaces in toric varieties

We provide a combinatorial characterization of monomial linear systems on toric varieties whose general member is quasismooth. This is given both in terms of the Newton polytope and in terms of the matrix of exponents of a monomial basis.

Mirror symmetry for K3 surfaces

For certain K3 surfaces, there are two constructions of mirror symmetry that are very different. The first, known as BHK mirror symmetry, comes from the Landau-Ginzburg model for the K3 surface; the other, known as LPK3 mirror symmetry, is based on a lattice polarization of the K3 surface in the sense of Dolgachev's definition. There is a large class of K3 surfaces for which both versions of mirror symmetry apply. In this class we consider the K3 surfaces admitting a certain purely nonsymplectic automorphism of order 4, 8, or 12, and we complete the proof that these two formulations of mirror symmetry agree for this class of K3 surfaces.

BHK mirror symmetry for K3 surfaces with non-symplectic automorphism

In this paper we consider the class of K3 surfaces defined as hypersurfaces in weighted projective space, and admitting a non-symplectic automorphism of non-prime order, excluding the orders 4, 8, and 12. We show that on these surfaces the Berglund-Hübsch-Krawitz mirror construction and mirror symmetry for lattice polarized K3 surfaces constructed by Dolgachev agree; that is, both versions of mirror symmetry define the same mirror K3 surface.

Families of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces in $\mathbb Q$-Fano toric varieties

We provide a sufficient condition for a general hypersurface in a $\mathbb Q$-Fano toric variety to be a Calabi-Yau variety in terms of its Newton polytope. Moreover, we define a generalization of the Berglund-Hübsch-Krawitz construction in case the ambient is a $\mathbb Q$-Fano toric variety with torsion free class group and the defining polynomial is not necessarily of Delsarte type. Finally, we introduce a duality between families of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces which includes both Batyrev and Berglund-Hübsch-Krawitz mirror constructions. This is given in terms of a polar duality between pairs of polytopes $Δ_1\subseteq Δ_2$, where $Δ_1$ and $Δ_2^*$ are canonical.

Van Geemen--Sarti involutions and elliptic fibrations on K3 surfaces double cover of $\mathbb{P}^2$

In this paper we classify the elliptic fibrations on K3 surfaces which are the double cover of a blow up of $\mathbb{P}^2$ branched along rational curves and we give equations for many of these elliptic fibrations. Thus we obtain a classification of the van Geemen--Sarti involutions (which are symplectic involutions induced by a translation by a 2-torsion section on an elliptic fibration) on such a surface. Each van Geemen--Sarti involution induces a 2-isogeny between two K3 surfaces, which is described in this paper.
