Explicit modularity of K3 surfaces with complex multiplication of large degree

Number Theory 2025-08-04 v3 Algebraic Geometry

Abstract

We consider the transcendental motive of three K3 surfaces XX conjectured to have complex multiplication (CM). Under this assumption, we match these to explicit algebraic Hecke quasi-characters ψX\psi_X, and CM abelian threefolds AA. This provides substantial evidence that a power of AA corresponds to XX under the Kuga-Satake correspondence.
