A gluing construction of K3 surfaces

Abstract

We develop a new method for constructing K3 surfaces. We construct such a K3 surface $X$ by patching two open complex surfaces obtained as the complements of tubular neighborhoods of elliptic curves embedded in blow-ups of the projective planes at general nine points. Our construction has $19$ complex dimensional degrees of freedom. For general parameters, the K3 surface $X$ is neither Kummer nor projective. By the argument based on the concrete computation of the period map, we also investigate which points in the period domain correspond to K3 surfaces obtained by such construction.
