Some applications of the moduli space of U⊕ D8(−1)-polarized K3 surfaces
Abstract
We study K3 surfaces polarized by the lattice U⊕ D8(−1) through elliptic fibrations and orthogonal modular forms. Using an alternate genus-one fibration and its relative Jacobian, we construct an explicit map from Vinberg's coefficient space to the Hashimoto--Ueda family. We also explain the geometric meaning of certain character forms associated with these moduli spaces and extend the relative-Jacobian construction to the exceptional lattices U⊕ E8(−1)⊕ Ak(−1) with k=1, 2.
