Abstract: We study the decomposability of a Lagrangian homology class on a K3 surface into a sum of classes represented by special Lagrangian submanifolds, and develop criteria for it in terms of lattice theory. As a result, we prove the decomposability on an arbitrary K3 surface with respect to the K"ahler classes in dense subsets of the K"ahler cone. Using the same technique, we show that the K"ahler classes on a K3 surface which admit a special Lagrangian fibration form a dense subset also. This implies that there are infinitely many special Lagrangian 3-tori in any log Calabi-Yau 3-fold.


The aim of the paper under review is to study a \(K3\) surface \(X\) together with a (Ricci-flat) Kähler form on \(X\). The main question is under what condition any Lagrangian class is special. The first part is devoted to giving criteria for it to happen when a Kähler form is given on \(X\). More precisely, if there exists a Lagrangian class of positive self-intersection, then, any Lagrangian is special, and otherwise, it is not the case, but any Lagrangian is special if and only if there exists a negative-definite lattice \(N\) such that both the Lagrangian and special Lagrangian lattices contain \(N\). In the second part, the authors turn to a study in deformation of Kähler forms on \(X\), and show that there exists a dense subset \(\mathcal{S}_X\) of the Kähler cone of \(X\) such that for any class in \(\mathcal{S}_X\), any associated Lagrangian is special. Finally, the authors conclude by describing possible special Lagrangian fibrations on \(X\).
