K 3 surfaces with Picard rank 20 over Q
نویسنده
چکیده
We compute all K3 surfaces with Picard rank 20 over Q. Our proof uses modularity, the Artin-Tate conjecture and class group theory. With different techniques, the result has been established by Elkies to show that Mordell-Weil rank 18 over Q is impossible for an elliptic K3 surface. We also apply our methods to general singular K3 surfaces, i.e. with geometric Picard rank 20, but not necessarily over Q.

متن کاملK3 Surfaces of Picard Rank One and Degree Two
Examples 1. A K3 surface of degree two is a double cover of P, ramified in a smooth sextic. K3 surfaces of degree four are smooth quartics in P. A K3 surface of degree six is a smooth complete intersection of a quadric and a cubic in P. And, finally, K3 surfaces of degree eight are smooth complete intersections of three quadrics in P. The Picard group of a K3 surface is isomorphic to Zn where n...
متن کاملK3 surfaces of Picard rank one which are double covers of the projective plane
Andreas-Stephan ELSENHANS a and Jörg JAHNEL a a Universität Göttingen, Mathematisches Institut, Bunsenstraße 3–5, D-37073 Göttingen, Germany 1 Abstract. We construct explicit examples of K3 surfaces over Q which are of degree 2 and the geometric Picard rank of which is equal to 1. We construct, particularly, examples in the form w2 = det M where M is a symmetric (3× 3)-matrix of ternary quadrat...

In general, not much is known about the arithmetic of K3 surfaces. Once the geometric Picard number, which is the rank of the Neron-Séveri 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 th...
