Icosahedral invariants and a construction of class fields via periods of \(K3\) surfaces (Q1635634): Difference between revisions

The paper under review provides a construction of class fields over CM fields, by considering explicit \(K3\) surfaces parametrized by Klein's icosahedral invariants (see [the author, Kyoto J. Math. 53, No. 4, 815--843 (2013; Zbl 1285.14042)]). Via the periods and the Shioda-Inose structures of \(K3\) surfaces, the special values of icosahedral invariants are shown to generate class fields over quartic CM fields. Furthermore, the author gives an explicit expression of the canonical model of the Shimura variety for the simplest case via the periods of \(K3\) surfaces.
