Does anybody know nice introductory material for K3 manifold/ surface? Some very basic exposition, maybe hidden in some book. Understandable to someone with math background (preferable physicists) , but not completely expert stuff.


THANKS

I'm sorry you are not generating any responses at the moment. Is there any additional information you can share with us? Any new findings?
 
have you looked at the books on surfaces by beauville or by barth peters van de ven? yje wikipedia article also looks pretty good and short:

Thread 'Injective immersion and embedding'

Hello! There is a simple line in the textbook. If ##S## is a manifold, an injectively immersed submanifold ##M## of ##S## is embedded if and only if ##M## is locally closed in ##S##. Recall the definition. M is locally closed if for each point ##x\in M## there open ##U\subset S## such that ##M\cap U## is closed in ##U##. Embedding to injective immesion is simple. The opposite direction is hard. Suppose I have ##N## as source manifold and ##f:N\rightarrow S## is the injective...
