Weekend workshop BIRS: SageMath development related to K3 surfaces (March 2016)

[Simon Brandhorst]

Ursula Whitcher and I are planning to apply to hold a weekend workshop
at BIRS next March.
The idea is to do SageMath development related to K3 surfaces and irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifolds (IHSMs/Hyperkähler).
Their geometry is accessible through their second integral cohomology group which is an indefinite lattice. 

Our (possible) goals are to implement SageMath functionality for
- indefinite lattices,
- isometries,
- modeling Hodge structures/Hodge isometries,
- elliptic fibrations on K3 surfaces,
- point counting.

Ideally the date is March 11-12.

If you are interested in attending, please let us know.

Maybe the authors/users of the Chow package for sage would be interested ? Probably not Sorger, who is busy being currently head of mathematics in CNRS.

Thank you Frédéric. I wasn't aware of that package. It seems quite interesting.
