1211.1931 (Yang-Hui He et al.)

Modular Subgroups, Dessins d'Enfants and Elliptic K3 Surfaces    [PDF]

Yang-Hui He, John McKay, James Read
We consider the 33 genus zero, torsion-free modular subgroups, computing ramification data and Grothendieck's dessins d'enfants. In the particular case of the index 36 subgroups, the corresponding Calabi-Yau threefolds are identified, in analogy with the index 24 cases being associated with K3 surfaces. In a parallel vein, we study the 112 semi-stable elliptic fibrations over P^1 as extremal K3 surfaces with six singular fibres. In each case, the corresponding modular subgroup is identified by showing its generators.
