Explicit Ricci-flat Metrics on Kummer K3 Surfaces
Abstract
We give a convergent explicit representation of the Ricci-flat Kähler metrics supplied by the Calabi--Yau theorem in a one-parameter family of classes on a fixed Kummer K3 surface. An explicit radial background has normalized Monge--Ampère residual O(a4). Its scalar Green operator Ga is represented by periodic Ewald kernels, separated radial kernels, finite-dimensional Schur complements, and convergent Neumann series. The coefficients are defined by Ua,1=−Gafa and Ua,n=Ga∑j=1n−1Qa(Ua,j,Ua,n−j), where Qa is the polarized quadratic Monge--Ampère term. A Green estimate of order a−1 gives a first correction of order a3 and a convergence parameter of order a2. A Catalan majorant proves absolute convergence on the entire smooth surface for every sufficiently small fixed a. The sum defines a positive form solving the volume equation; comparison identifies the sum with the smooth normalized Calabi--Yau potential. We also record sufficient analytic conditions for the same recursion on collapsing elliptic K3 surfaces.

AB - We give a convergent explicit representation of the Ricci-flat Kähler metrics supplied by the Calabi--Yau theorem in a one-parameter family of classes on a fixed Kummer K3 surface. An explicit radial background has normalized Monge--Ampère residual O(a^4). Its scalar Green operator G_a is represented by periodic Ewald kernels, separated radial kernels, finite-dimensional Schur complements, and convergent Neumann series. The coefficients are defined by U_a,1=−G_af_a and U_a,n=G_a∑_j=1^n−1Q_a(U_a,j,U_a,n−j), where Q_a is the polarized quadratic Monge--Ampère term. A Green estimate of order a^−1 gives a first correction of order a^3 and a convergence parameter of order a^2. A Catalan majorant proves absolute convergence on the entire smooth surface for every sufficiently small fixed a. The sum defines a positive form solving the volume equation; comparison identifies the sum with the smooth normalized Calabi--Yau potential. We also record sufficient analytic conditions for the same recursion on collapsing elliptic K3 surfaces.
