Simple Surface Singularities, their Resolutions, and Construction of K3 Surfaces
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes, in detail, a process for constructing Kummer K3 surfaces, and other “generalized” Kummer K3 surfaces. In particular, we look at how some well-known geometrical objects such as the platonic solids and regular polygons can inspire the creation of singular surfaces, and we investigate the resolution of those surfaces. Furthermore, we will extend this methodology to examine the singularities of some complex two-dimensional quotient spaces and resolve these singularities to construct a Kummer K3 and other generalized Kummer K3 surfaces.

Extendability of Automorphisms of K3 Surfaces
A K3 surface X over a p-adic field K is said to have good reduction if it admits a proper smooth model over the integer ring of K. Assuming this, we say that a subgroup G of Aut(X) is extendable if X admits a proper smooth model equipped with G-action (compatible with the action on X). We show that G is extendable if it is of finite order prime to p and acts symplectically (that is, preserves t...
متن کاملGroup Actions, Cyclic Coverings and Families of K3-surfaces
In this paper we describe six pencils of K3-surfaces which have large Picardnumber (15 ≤ ρ ≤ 20) and contain precisely five singular fibers: four have A-D-E singularities and one is non-reduced. In particular we describe these surfaces as cyclic coverings of the K3-surfaces of [BS]. In many cases using this description and latticetheory we are able to compute the exact Picard-number and to desc...
متن کاملSpecial Kähler Metrics on Complex Line Bundles and the Geometry of K3-Surfaces
In this article we continue studying the Ricci-flat Riemannian metrics that were constructed in [1]. On closer examination it turned out that they possess a number of remarkable properties; in particular, they have the holonomy group SU(2), so presenting special Kähler metrics. The metrics of holonomy SU(2) are interesting because of their applications in mathematical physics. In superstring th...
متن کاملPolyhedral Groups and Pencils of K3-Surfaces with Maximal Picard Number
A K3-surface is a (smooth) surface which is simply connected and has trivial canonical bundle. In these notes we investigate three particular pencils of K3-surfaces with maximal Picard number. More precisely the general member in each pencil has Picard number 19 and each pencil contains four surfaces with Picard number 20. These surfaces are obtained as the minimal resolution of quotients X/G, ...
