Abstract

A series of generalizations of the Weierstrass normal form for elliptic curves to the case of K3 surfaces will be presented.  These have already been applied to better understand F-theory/Heterotic string duality.  We will see how they also resolve a long-standing question of which "mirror-compatible" variations of Hodge structure over the thrice-punctured sphere can arise from families of Calabi-Yau threefolds.
