It is known ([10, 27]) that there is a unique K3 surface X which corresponds to a genus 2 curve C such that X has a Shioda-Inose structure with quotient birational to the Kummer surface of the Jacobian of C. In this paper we give an explicit realization of X as an elliptic surface over ℙ 1 with specified singular fibers of type II* and III*. We describe how the Weierstrass coefficients are related to the Igusa-Clebsch invariants of C.

On the geometry of (1,2)-polarized Kummer surfaces
We discuss several geometric features of a Kummer surface associated with a (1,2)-polarized abelian surface defined over the field of complex numbers. In particular, we show that any such Kummer…
Inose's construction and elliptic K3 surfaces with Mordell-Weil rank 15 revisited
We describe two constructions of elliptic K3 surfaces starting from the Kummer surface of the Jacobian of a genus 2 curve. These parallel the base-change constructions of Kuwata for the Kummer…
Elliptic fibrations on a generic Jacobian Kummer surface
We describe all the elliptic fibrations with section on the Kummer surface X of the Jacobian of a very general curve C of genus 2 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, modulo the…
Note on a Geometric Isogeny of K3 Surfaces
The paper establishes a correspondence relating two specific classes of complex algebraic K3 surfaces. The first class consists of K3 surfaces polarized by the rank-sixteen lattice H+E_7+E_7. The…
Elliptic Fibrations on Supersingular K3 Surface with Artin Invariant 1 in Characteristic 3
We describe elliptic models with section on the Shioda supersingular K3 surface X of Artin invariant 1 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 3. We compute elliptic parameters and…

Genus Two Curves with Many Elliptic Subcovers
We determine all genus 2 curves, defined over ℂ, which have simultaneously degree 2 and 3 elliptic subcovers. The locus of such curves has three irreducible 1-dimensional genus zero components in ℳ2.…
Kummer surfaces and K3 surface with (Z/2Z)^4 symplectic action
In the first part of this paper we give a survey of classical results on Kummer surfaces with Picard number 17 from the point of view of lattice theory. We prove ampleness properties for certain…
Icosahedral invariants and Shimura curves
Shimura curves are the moduli space of abelian surfaces with quaternion multiplication. Models of Shimura curves are very important in number theory, especially in class field theory. The icosahedral…
ELLIPTIC K3 SURFACES ASSOCIATED WITH THE PRODUCT OF TWO ELLIPTIC CURVES: MORDELL–WEIL LATTICES AND THEIR FIELDS OF DEFINITION
TLDR
The techniques are applied to compute the full Mordell–Weil group in several examples of arithmetic interest, arising from isogenous elliptic curves with complex multiplication, for which these K3 surfaces are singular.

In this paper we show that a Kahler K3 surface containing 16 nonsingular rational curves which do not intersect one another is a Kummer surface. We also give a direct proof of the global Torelli…
