Explicit uniform bounds for Brauer groups of singular K3 surfaces
Abstract
Let be a number field. We give an explicit bound, depending only on and the discriminant of the N\'{e}ron--Severi lattice, on the size of the Brauer group of a K3 surface that is geometrically isomorphic to the Kummer surface attached to a product of isogenous CM elliptic curves. As an application, we show that the Brauer--Manin set for such a variety is effectively computable. Conditional on GRH, we can also make the explicit bound depend only on and remove the condition that the elliptic curves be isogenous. In addition, we show how to obtain a bound, depending only on , on the number of -isomorphism classes of singular K3 surfaces defined over , thus proving an effective version of the strong Shafarevich conjecture for singular K3 surfaces.
