Prof. Dr. Matthias Schütt


Research Area: Algebraic and Arithmetic Geometry

deutsch


Research interests: Arithmetic of K3 surfaces, in particular singular K3 surfaces and K3 surfaces of high Picard number or with automorphisms
Enriques surfaces - arithmetic and geometry
Zeta-functions, fields of definition
Supersingular surfaces, in particular K3, Fermat and Horikawa surfaces
Surfaces with maximal Picard number and with extra structure (automorphisms etc)
Elliptic curves and surfaces
Modular forms (especially with CM or non-congruence)
Calabi-Yau threefolds - modularity and non-liftability
Modularity of higher-dimensional Calabi-Yau varieties

Status quo: Junior professor at the Institute for Algebraic Geometry at Leibniz Universität Hannover.
From September 2008 until June 2009 I was a postdoc at the Math Department of Københavns Universitet.

News:     Talk at Heinrich-Heine-Universität in Düsseldorf
Joint paper with H. Verrill and I. Kiming on lifts of projective congruence groups
Talk in the joint AKLS - InterCity seminar on modular forms in Utrecht
Joint work with R. Livne and N. Yui on the modularity of K3 surfaces with non-symplectic automorphisms

Upcoming:     Survey on elliptic surfaces with T. Shioda
Two-week visit of M. Kuwata and T. Shioda in Tokyo in September
Talk in Algebraic Geometry Seminar at Tokyo University

Teaching:     During the winter term 2009/10 I will teach a class on Algebraic Geometry at Leibniz University Hannover.
    At university of Copenhagen, I gave courses on Cryptography and Algebraic Geometry in 2009.
