Lines on K3-sextics with simple singularities

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 worst A-D-E singularities. Besides, we characterize a certain class of infinite dihedral groups of birational automorphisms of K3-sextics, we show that no K3-sextic can contain a Kummer configuration of lines, and we give a complete account of the line configurations on closest analogue of Kummer K3-octics or quartics, viz. the so-called Humbert K3-sextics.

Periodic sharpness of Miyaoka's bound for smooth rational curves

We determine the maximal number of smooth rational degree d curves on a complex K3-surface of degree 2n provided n is sufficiently large as compared to d>1. We obtain precise characterization of configurations of rational degree d curves for which Miyaoka's bound is sharp for nd odd and n sufficiently large as compared to d.

On large configurations of lines on quartic surfaces

We estimate the number of lines on a non-K3 quartic surface. Such a surface with only isolated double point(s) contains at most twenty lines; this bound is attained by a unique configuration of lines and by a surface with a certain limited set of singularities. We have similar itemized bounds for other types of non-simple singularities, which culminate in at most 31 lines on a non-K3 quartic not ruled by lines; this bound is only attained on the quartic monoids described by K.~Rohn.

Counting Lines with Vinberg's algorithm

We combine classical Vinberg's algorithms with the lattice-theoretic/arithmetic approach from arXiv:1706.05734 [math.AG] to give a method of classifying large line configurations on complex quasi-polarized K3-surfaces. We apply our method to classify all complex K3-octic surfaces with at worst Du Val singularities and at least 32 lines. The upper bound on the number of lines is 36, as in the smooth case, with at most 32 lines if the singular locus is non-empty.

Low degree rational curves on quasi-polarized K3 surfaces

We prove that there are at most $(24-r_0)$ low-degree rational curves on high-degree models of K3 surfaces with at most Du Val singularities, where $r_0$ is the number of exceptional divisors on the minimal resolution. We also provide several existence results in the above setting (i.e. for rational curves on quasi-polarized K3 surfaces), which imply that for various values of $r_0$ our bound cannot be improved.

Lines on K3-quartics via triangular sets

We prove the sharp upper bound of at most $52$ lines on a complex K3-surface of degree four with a non-empty singular locus. We also classify the configurations of more than $48$ lines on smooth complex quartics.

24 rational curves on K3 surfaces

Given d in IN, we prove that all smooth K3 surfaces (over any field of characteristic p other than 2,3) of degree greater than 84d^2 contain at most 24 rational curves of degree at most d. In the exceptional characteristics, the same bounds hold for non-unirational K3 surfaces, and we develop analogous results in the unirational case. For d at least 3, we also construct K3 surfaces of any degree greater than 4d(d+1) with 24 rational curves of degree exactly d, thus attaining the above bounds.

12 rational curves on Enriques surfaces

Given d in IN, we prove that any polarized Enriques surface (over any field of characteristic different from 2 or with a smooth K3 cover) of degree greater than 12d^2 contains at most 12 rational curves of degree at most d. For d>2 we construct examples of Enriques surfaces of high degree that contain exactly 12 rational degree d curves.

On characteristic polynomials of automorphisms of Enriques surfaces

Let $f$ be an automorphism of a complex Enriques surface $Y$ and let $p_f$ denote the characteristic polynomial of the isometry $f^*$ of the numerical Néron-Severi lattice of $Y$ induced by $f$. We apply a modification of McMullen's method to prove that the modulo-$2$ reduction $(p_f(x) \bmod 2)$ is a product of modulo-$2$ reductions of (some of) the five cyclotomic polynomials $Φ_m$, where $m \leq 9$ and $m$ is odd. We study Enriques surfaces that realize modulo-$2$ reductions of $Φ_7$, $Φ_9$ and show that each of the five polynomials $(Φ_m(x) \bmod 2)$ is a factor of the modulo-$2$ reduction $(p_f(x) \bmod 2)$ for a complex Enriques surface.

Counting lines on surfaces, especially quintics

We introduce certain rational functions on a smooth projective surface X in IP^3 which facilitate counting the lines on X. We apply this to smooth quintics in characteristic zero to prove that they contain no more than 127 lines, and that any given line meets at most 28 others. We construct examples which demonstrate that the latter bound is sharp.

On automorphisms of Enriques surfaces and their entropy

Consider an arbitrary automorphism of an Enriques surface with its lift to the covering K3 surface. We prove a bound of the order of the lift acting on the anti-invariant cohomology sublattice of the Enriques involution. We use it to obtain some mod 2 constraint on the original automorphism. As an application, we give a necessary condition for Salem numbers to be dynamical degrees on Enriques surfaces and obtain a new lower bound on the minimal value. In the Appendix, we give a complete list of Salem numbers that potentially may be the minimal dynamical degree on Enriques surfaces and for which the existence of geometric automorphisms is unknown.

Counting Lines on Quartic Surfaces

We prove the sharp bound of at most 64 lines on complex projective quartic surfaces (resp. affine quartics) that are not ruled by lines. We study configurations of lines on certain non-K3 surfaces of degree four and give various examples of singular quartics with many lines.
