 | K3 Modular Parametrization and Calabi-Yau Threefold Moduli Speaker(s): Charles Doran
Abstract: A series of generalizations of the Weierstrass normal
form for elliptic curves to the case of K3 surfaces will be presented. These have already been applied to better
understand F-theory/Heterotic string duality.
We will see how they also resolve a long-standing question... read more

Normal Forms for Lattice Polarized K3 Surfaces and the Kuga-Satake Hodge Conjecture Speaker(s): Charles Doran
Abstract: We introduce a projective hypersurface ''normal form'' for a class of K3 surfaces which generalizes the classical Weierstrass normal form for complex elliptic curves. A geometric two-isogeny relates these K3 surfaces to the Kummer K3 surfaces of principally polarized abelian surfaces, with the norma... read more
