On Kummer-like surfaces attached to singularity and modular forms

Abstract

We study a family of lattice polarized $K3$ surfaces which is an extension of the family of Kummer surfaces derived from principally polarized Abelian surfaces. Our family has two special properties. First, it is coming from a resolution of a simple $K3$ singularity. Second, it has a natural parametrization by Hermitian modular forms of four complex variables. In this paper, we show two results: (1) We determine the transcendental lattice and the N\'eron-Severi lattice of a generic member of our family. (2) We give a detailed description of the double covering structure associated with our $K3$ surfaces.
