Abstract: We study the moduli space of triples $(C,L_1,L_2)$ consisting of quartic curves $C$ and lines $L_1$ and $L_2$. Specifically, we construct and compactify the moduli space in two ways: via geometric invariant theory (GIT) and by using the period map of certain lattice polarized $K3$ surfaces. The GIT construction depends on two parameters $t_1$ and $t_2$ which correspond to the choice of a linearization. For $t_1=t_2=1$ we describe the GIT moduli explicitly and relate it to the construction via $K3$ surfaces.

Review text

The aim of the paper under review is to study the moduli space of \(K3\) surfaces of degree \(2\) that are double covering of the projective space branched at the union of a quartic curve and two lines. The construction here is given in two ways that are finally turned to coincide. The first part is devoted to study the space of semi-/stable conditions for a tuple of a hypersurface and \(k\) hyperplanes in the projective space as a generalisation of the result obtained by the first two authors. Applying this, they describe the moduli space as the GIT quotient for triples of a quartic curve and two lines. As a result, they obtain an isomorphic period map constructed in Section 3.6. In the second part, they construct the moduli space as that of polarised \(K3\) surfaces by the lattice \(M\) presented in Notation 3.3. The strategy is to first describe the period map for generic intersections, and then, by using the method of the normalised-lattice polarisation for degree-5 pairs due to \textit{R. Laza} [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 361, No. 4, 2109--2161 (2009; Zbl 1174.14004)] they construct a period mapping to be a morphism, specifically to describe the extension at non-generic intersections.
