Compactified Jacobians of extended ADE curves and Lagrangian fibrations

Abstract

We observe that general reducible curves in sufficiently positive linear systems on K3 surfaces are of a form that generalize Kodaira’s classification of singular elliptic fibers and thus call them extended ADE curves. On such a curve $C$, we describe a compactified Jacobian and show that its components reflect the intersection graph of $C$. This extends known results when $C$ is reduced, but new difficulties arise when $C$ is non-reduced. As an application, we get an explicit description of general singular fibers of certain Lagrangian fibrations of Beauville–Mukai type.
