To a pair of elliptic curves, one can naturally attach two K3 surfaces: the Kummer surface of their product and a double cover of it, called the Inose surface. They have prominently featured in many interesting constructions in algebraic geometry and number theory. There are several more associated elliptic K3 surfaces, obtained through base change of the Inose surface; these have been previously studied by Masato Kuwata. We give an explicit description of the geometric Mordell–Weil groups of each of these elliptic surfaces in the generic case (when the elliptic curves are non-isogenous). In the nongeneric case, we describe a method to calculate explicitly a finite index subgroup of the Mordell–Weil group, which may be saturated to give the full group. Our methods rely on several interesting group actions, the use of rational elliptic surfaces, as well as connections to the geometry of low degree curves on cubic and quartic surfaces. We apply our techniques to compute the full Mordell–Weil group in several examples of arithmetic interest, arising from isogenous elliptic curves with complex multiplication, for which these K3 surfaces are singular.

In this study, we construct four-dimensional F-theory models with 3 to 8 U(1) factors on products of K3 surfaces. We provide explicit Weierstrass equations of elliptic K3 surfaces with Mordell–Weil ranks of 3 to 8. We utilize the method of quadratic base change to glue pairs of rational elliptic surfaces together to yield the aforementioned types of K3 surfaces. The moduli of elliptic K3 surfaces constructed in the study include Kummer surfaces of specific complex structures. We show that the tadpole cancels in F-theory compactifications with flux when these Kummer surfaces are paired with appropriately selected attractive K3 surfaces. We determine the matter spectra on F-theory on the pairs.

AbstractIn this paper, the automorphism groups of relatively minimal rational elliptic surfaces with section which have constant J-maps are classified. The ground field is ℂ. The automorphism group of such a surface β: B → ℙ1, denoted by Au t(B), consists of all biholomorphic maps on the complex manifold B. The group Au t(B) is isomorphic to the semi-direct product MW(B) ⋊ Aut σ (B) of the Mordell-Weil groupMW(B) (the group of sections of B), and the subgroup Aut σ (B) of the automorphisms preserving a fixed section σ of B which is called the zero section on B. The Mordell-Weil group MW(B) is determined by the configuration of singular fibers on the elliptic surface B due to Oguiso and Shioda [9]. In this work, the subgroup Aut σ (B) is determined with respect to the configuration of singular fibers of B. Together with a previous paper [4] where the case with non-constant J-maps was considered, this completes the classification of automorphism groups of relatively minimal rational elliptic surfaces with section.

AbstractThis paper investigates the modularity of three non-rigid Calabi–Yau threefolds with bad reduction at 11. They are constructed as fibre products of rational elliptic surfaces, involving the modular elliptic surface of level 5. Their middle ℓ-adic cohomology groups are shown to split into two-dimensional pieces, all but one of which can be interpreted in terms of elliptic curves. The remaining pieces are associated to newforms of weight 4 and level 22 or 55, respectively. For this purpose, we develop a method by Serre to compare the corresponding two-dimensional 2-adic Galois representations with uneven trace. Eventually this method is also applied to a self fibre product of the Hesse-pencil, relating it to a newform of weight 4 and level 27.

Abstract We discuss the birational geometry and the Kodaira dimension of certain varieties previously constructed by Schreieder, proving that in any dimension they admit an elliptic fibration and they are not of general type. The $l$-dimensional variety $Y_{(n)}^{(l)}$, which is the quotient of the product of a certain curve $C_{(n)}$ by itself $l$ times by a group $G\simeq \left ({\mathbb{Z}}/n{\mathbb{Z}}\right )^{l-1}$ of automorphisms, was constructed by Schreieder to obtain varieties with prescribed Hodge numbers. If $n=3^c$ Schreieder constructed an explicit smooth birational model of it, and Flapan proved that the Kodaira dimension of this smooth model is 1, if $c>1$; if $l=2$ it is a modular elliptic surface; if $l=3$ it admits a fibration in K3 surfaces. In this paper we generalize these results: without any assumption on $n$ and $l$ we prove that $Y_{(n)}^{(l)}$ admits many elliptic fibrations and its Kodaira dimension is at most 1. Moreover, if $l=2$, its minimal resolution is a modular elliptic surface, obtained by a base change of order $n$ on a specific extremal rational elliptic surface; if $l\geq 3$ it has a birational model that admits a fibration in K3 surfaces and a fibration in $(l-1)$-dimensional varieties of Kodaira dimension at most 0.

AbstractLet P and Q be two points on an elliptic curve defined over a number field K. For $$\alpha \in {\text {End}}(E)$$ α ∈ End ( E ) , define $$B_\alpha $$ B α to be the $$\mathcal {O}_K$$ O K -integral ideal generated by the denominator of $$x(\alpha (P)+Q)$$ x ( α ( P ) + Q ) . Let $$\mathcal {O}$$ O be a subring of $${\text {End}}(E)$$ End ( E ) , that is a Dedekind domain. We will study the sequence $$\{B_\alpha \}_{\alpha \in \mathcal {O}}$$ { B α } α ∈ O . We will show that, for all but finitely many $$\alpha \in \mathcal {O}$$ α ∈ O , the ideal $$B_\alpha $$ B α has a primitive divisor when P is a non-torsion point and there exist two endomorphisms $$g\ne 0$$ g ≠ 0 and f so that $$f(P)= g(Q)$$ f ( P ) = g ( Q ) . This is a generalization of previous results on elliptic divisibility sequences.

Abstract General K3 surfaces obtained as double covers of the n-th Hirzebruch surfaces with n = 0, 1, 4 are not double covers of other smooth surfaces. We give a criterion for such a K3 surface to be a double covering of another smooth rational surface based on the branch locus of double covers and fibre spaces of Hirzebruch surfaces.

1. As Hecke showed, every L-function of an imaginary quadratic field K with a Grössen-character γ is the Mellin transform of a cusp form f(z) belonging to a certain congruence subgroup Γ of SL2(Z). We can normalize γ so that
