Let Ω be a non-zero holomorphic 2-form on a K3 surface S. Suppose that S is projective algebraic and is defined over [Formula: see text]. Let [Formula: see text] be the [Formula: see text]-vector space generated by the numbers given by all the periods ∫γ Ω, γ ∈ H2(S, ℤ). We show that, if [Formula: see text], then S has complex multiplication, meaning that the Mumford–Tate group of the rational Hodge structure on H2(S, ℚ) is abelian. This result was announced in [P. Tretkoff, Transcendence and CM on Borcea–Voisin towers of Calabi–Yau manifolds, J. Number Theory 152 (2015) 118–155], without a detailed proof. The converse is already well known.

Abstract We study the good reduction modulo $p$ of $K3$ surfaces with complex multiplication. If a $K3$ surface with complex multiplication has good reduction, we calculate the Picard number and the height of the formal Brauer group of the reduction. Moreover, if the reduction is supersingular, we calculate its Artin invariant under some assumptions. Our results generalize some results of Shimada for $K3$ surfaces with Picard number $20$. Our methods rely on the main theorem of complex multiplication for $K3$ surfaces by Rizov, an explicit description of the Breuil–Kisin modules associated with Lubin–Tate characters due to Andreatta, Goren, Howard, and Madapusi Pera, and the integral comparison theorem recently established by Bhatt, Morrow, and Scholze.

AbstractWe prove the equidistribution of the Hodge locus for certain non-isotrivial, polarized variations of Hodge structure of weight 2 with {h^{2,0}=1} over complex, quasi-projective curves. Given some norm condition, we also give an asymptotic on the growth of the Hodge locus. In particular, this implies the equidistribution of elliptic fibrations in quasi-polarized, non-isotrivial families of K3 surfaces.

We report on our project to find explicit examples of K3 surfaces having real or complex multiplication. Our strategy is to search through the arithmetic consequences of RM and CM. In order to do this, an efficient method is needed for point counting on surfaces defined over finite fields. For this, we describe algorithms that are$p$-adic in nature.

Derived equivalences of twisted K3 surfaces induce twisted Hodge isometries between them; that is, isomorphisms of their cohomologies which respect certain natural lattice structures and Hodge structures. We prove a criterion for when a given Hodge isometry arises in this way. In particular, we describe the image of the representation which associates to any autoequivalence of a twisted K3 surface its realization in cohomology: this image is a subgroup of index $1$or $2$in the group of all Hodge isometries of the twisted K3 surface. We show that both indices can occur.

Abstract We generalize Mukai and Shafarevich’s definitions of isogenies between K3 surfaces over ${\mathbb{C}}$ to an arbitrary perfect field and describe how to construct isogenous K3 surfaces over $\bar{{\mathbb{F}}}_p$ by prescribing linear algebraic data when $p$ is large. The main step is to show that isogenies between Kuga–Satake abelian varieties induce isogenies between K3 surfaces, in the context of integral models of Shimura varieties. As a byproduct, we show that every K3 surface of finite height admits a CM lifting under a mild assumption on $p$.

AbstractLet denote the Fermat curve over ℚ of prime exponent ℓ. The Jacobian Jac() of splits over ℚ as the product of Jacobians Jac(k), 1 ≤ k ≤ ℓ −2, where k are curves obtained as quotients of by certain subgroups of automorphisms of . It is well known that Jac(k) is the power of an absolutely simple abelian variety Bk with complex multiplication. We call degenerate those pairs (ℓ, k) for which Bk has degenerate CM type. For a non-degenerate pair (ℓ, k), we compute the Sato–Tate group of Jac(Ck), prove the generalized Sato–Tate Conjecture for it, and give an explicit method to compute the moments and measures of the involved distributions. Regardless of whether (ℓ, k) is degenerate, we also obtain Frobenius equidistribution results for primes of certain residue degrees in the ℓ-th cyclotomic field. Key to our results is a detailed study of the rank of certain generalized Demjanenko matrices.

Complex multiplication in its simplest form is a geometric tiling property. In its advanced form it is a unifying motivation of classical mathematics from elliptic integrals to number theory; and it is still of active interest. This interrelation is explored in an introductory expository fashion with emphasis on a central historical problem, the modular equation betweenj(z)andj(2z).

Let S[n]be the Hilbert scheme of length n subschemes of a K3 surface S. H2(S[n],ℤ) is endowed with the Beauville–Bogomolov bilinear form. Denote by Mon the subgroup of GL [H*(S[n],ℤ)] generated by monodromy operators, and let Mon2be its image in OH2(S[n],ℤ). We prove that Mon2is the subgroup generated by reflections with respect to +2 and -2 classes (Theorem 1.2). Thus Mon2does not surject onto OH2(S[n],ℤ)/(±1), when n - 1 is not a prime power.As a consequence, we get counterexamples to a version of the weight 2 Torelli question for hyperKähler varieties X deformation equivalent to S[n]. The weight 2 Hodge structure on H2(X,ℤ) does not determine the bimeromorphic class of X, whenever n - 1 is not a prime power (the first case being n = 7). There are at least 2ρ(n - 1) - 1distinct bimeromorphic classes of X with a given generic weight 2 Hodge structure, where ρ(n - 1) is the Euler number of n - 1.The second main result states, that if a monodromy operator acts as the identity on H2(S[n],ℤ), then it acts as the identity on Hk(S[n],ℤ), 0 ≤ k ≤ n + 2 (Theorem 1.5). We conclude the injectivity of the restriction homomorphism Mon → Mon2, if n ≡ 0 or n ≡ 1 modulo 4 (Corollary 1.6).

Recently Calabi–Yau threefolds have been studied intensively by physicists and mathematicians. They are used as physical models of superstring theory [Y] and they are one of the building blocks in the classification of complex threefolds [KMM]. These are three dimensional analogues of K3 surfaces. However, there is a fundamental difference as is to be expected. For K3 surfaces, the moduli space N of K3 surfaces is irreducible of dimension 20, inside which a countable number of families Ng with g [ges ] 2 of algebraic K3 surfaces of dimension 19 lie as a dense subset. More explicitly, an element in Ng is (S, H), where S is a K3 surface and H is a primitive ample divisor on S with H2 = 2g − 2. For a generic (S, H), Pic (S) is generated by H, so that the rank of the Picard group of S is 1. A generic surface S in N is not algebraic and it has Pic (S) = 0, but dim N = h1(S, TS) = 20 [BPV]. It is quite an interesting problem whether or not the moduli space M of all Calabi–Yau threefolds is irreducible in some sense [R]. A Calabi–Yau threefold is algebraic if and only if it is Kaehler, while every non-algebraic K3 surface is still Kaehler. Inspired by the K3 case, we define Mh,d to be {(X, H)[mid ]H3 = h, c2(X) · H = d}, where H is a primitive ample divisor on a smooth Calabi–Yau threefold X. There are two parameters h, d for algebraic Calabi–Yau threefolds, while there is only one parameter g for algebraic K3 surfaces. (Note that c2(S) = 24 for every K3 surface.) We know that Ng is of dimension 19 for every g and is irreducible but we do not know the dimension of Mh,d and whether or not Mh,d is irreducible. In fact, the dimension of Mh,d = h1(X, TX), where (X, H) ∈ Mh,d. Furthermore, it is well known that χ(X) = 2 (rank of Pic (X) − h1(X, TX)), where χ(X) is the topological Euler characteristic of X. Calabi–Yau threefolds with Picard rank one are primitive [G] and play an important role in the moduli spaces of all Calabi–Yau threefolds. In this paper we give a bound on c3 of Calabi–Yau threefolds with Picard rank 1.
