F-theory models on K3 surfaces with various Mordell-Weil ranks — constructions that use quadratic base change of rational elliptic surfaces

Abstract We constructed several families of elliptic K3 surfaces with Mordell-Weil groups of ranks from 1 to 4. We studied F-theory compactifications on these elliptic K3 surfaces times a K3 surface. Gluing pairs of identical rational elliptic surfaces with nonzero Mordell-Weil ranks yields elliptic...
