Classification of all Jacobian elliptic fibrations on certain \(K3\) surfaces (Q2501654)

The author classifies all the configurations of singular fibers of elliptic fibrations on the double cover of \(\mathbb{P}_2\) ramified along six lines in general position. The minimal resolution of the double cover is a \(K3\) surface. Since choosing six distinct lines in \(\mathbb{P}_2\) gives four moduli, also the family of \(K3\) surfaces is four dimensional. The author shows that the generic \(K3\) surface \(X\) in the family has Picard number 16. Let \(L_1,\dots,L_6\) be the six lines in \(\mathbb{P}_2\) and \(l_i\) be the divisor on \(X\) such that \(2l_i\) is the strict transform of the pullback of the \(L_i\)'s. To find the singular fibers the author distinguishes two cases: when the \(l_i\)'s are components of the singular fibers and when there is a \(l_i\) which do not satisfy this condition. By using general results on elliptic fibrations, he find the following four possible configurations of singular fibers: \(I_{10}\), \(I_2\), \(aII\), \(bI_1\); \(I_8\), \(I_4\), \(aII\), \(bI\); \(2I_6\), \(aII\), \(bI_1\); \(IV^*\), \(I_4\), \(aII\), \(bI_1\) in any case with \(2a+b=12\). He computes also the rank of the Mordell-Weil group which is \(4,4,4\) resp. \(5\).
