Good Reduction of K3 Surfaces

Algebraic Geometry 2019-02-20 v3 Number Theory

Abstract

Let KK be the field of fractions of a local Henselian DVR with perfect residue field. Assuming potential semi-stable reduction, we show that an unramified Galois-action on second \ell-adic cohomology of a K3 surface over KK implies that the surface has good reduction after a finite and unramified extension. We give examples where this unramified extension is really needed. Moreover, we give applications to good reduction after tame extensions and Kuga-Satake Abelian varieties. On our way, we settle existence and termination of certain semi-stable flops in mixed characteristic, and study group actions and their quotients on models of varieties.
