Abstract: By carrying out a rational transformation on the base curve $mathbb{CP}^1$ of the Seiberg-Witten curve for $mathcalN=2$ supersymmetric pure $mathrmSU(2)$-gauge theory, we obtain a family of Jacobian elliptic K3 surfaces of Picard rank 17. The isogeny relating the Seiberg-Witten curve for pure $mathrmSU(2)$-gauge theory to the one for $mathrmSU(2)$-gauge theory with $N_f=2$ massless hypermultiplets extends to define a Nikulin involution on each K3 surface in the family. We show that the desingularization of the quotient of the K3 surface by the involution is isomorphic to a Kummer surface of the Jacobian variety of a curve of genus two. We then derive a relation between the Yukawa coupling associated with the elliptic K3 surface and the Yukawa coupling of pure $mathrmSU(2)$-gauge theory.
