Abstract

The order of a constant cycle curve CXC \subset X on a K3 surface, defined by Huybrechts, is a positive integer that measures the obstruction to decomposing the diagonal class ΔC\Delta_C in the Chow group CH2(X×C)\mathrm{CH}^2(X \times C). In this paper, we compute the order of elliptic constant cycle curves that naturally arise on Kummer surfaces, by passing to the transcendental intermediate Jacobian Jtr3(X×C)J_{\mathrm{tr}}^3(X \times C). As a consequence, every nNn \in \mathbb{N} can be realized as the order of a constant cycle curve on a K3 surface.
