Abstract

We generalize Mukai and Shafarevich's definitions of isogenies between K3 surfaces over C\mathbb{C} to an arbitrary perfect field and describe how to construct isogenous K3 surfaces over Fˉp\bar{\mathbb{F}}_p by prescribing linear algebraic data when pp is large. The main step is to show that isogenies between Kuga-Satake abelian varieties induce isogenies between K3 surfaces, in the context of integral models of Shimura varieties. As a byproduct, we show that every K3 surface of finite height admits a CM lifting under a mild assumption on pp.
