Geometry of Schreieder's varieties and some elliptic and K3 moduli curves

Abstract

We study the geometry of a class of $n$-dimensional smooth projective varieties constructed by Schreieder for their noteworthy Hodge-theoretic properties. In particular, we realize Schreieder's surfaces as elliptic modular surfaces and Schreieder's threefolds as one-dimensional families of Picard rank $19$ $K3$ surfaces.
