Arithmetic and Geometry of K3 Surfaces and Calabi–Yau Threefolds

In recent years, research in K3 surfaces and Calabi–Yau varieties has seen spectacular progress from both the arithmetic and geometric points of view, which in turn continues to have a huge influence and impact in theoretical physics—in particular, in string theory. The workshop on  Arithmetic and G...
