چکیده
In general, not much is known about the arithmetic of K3 surfaces. Once the geometric Picard number, which is the rank of the Néron-Severi group over an algebraic closure of the base field, is high enough, more structure is known and more can be said. However, until recently not a single K3 surface was known to have geometric Picard number one. We give explicit examples of such surfaces over the rational numbers. This solves an old problem that has been attributed to Mumford. The examples we give also contain infinitely many rational points, thereby answering a question of Swinnerton-Dyer and Poonen.

We calculate the dimension of the locus of elliptic surfaces over P 1 with a section and a given Picard number, in the corresponding moduli space.
متن کاملOn the Diophantine Equation x^6+ky^3=z^6+kw^3
Given the positive integers m,n, solving the well known symmetric Diophantine equation xm+kyn=zm+kwn, where k is a rational number, is a challenge. By computer calculations, we show that for all integers k from 1 to 500, the Diophantine equation x6+ky3=z6+kw3 has infinitely many nontrivial (y≠w) rational solutions. Clearly, the same result holds for positive integers k whose cube-free part is n...

متن کامل0 Ju n 20 05 Resolutions of ideals of six fat points in P 2
The graded Betti numbers of the minimal free resolution (and also therefore the Hilbert function) of the ideal of a fat point subscheme Z of P are determined whenever Z is supported at any 6 or fewer distinct points. We also handle a broad range of cases in which the points can be infinitely near, related to the classification of normal cubic surfaces. All results hold over an arbitrary algebra...
