Isogenies of certain K3 surfaces of rank 18

Algebraic Geometry 2022-05-31 v1

Abstract

We construct geometric isogenies between three types of two-parameter families of K3 surfaces of Picard rank 18. One is the family of Kummer surfaces associated with Jacobians of genus-two curves admitting an elliptic involution, another is the family of Kummer surfaces associated with the product of two non-isogeneous elliptic curves, and the third is the twisted Legendre pencil. The isogenies imply the existence of algebraic correspondences between these K3 surfaces and prove that the associated four-dimensional Galois representations are isomorphic. We also apply our result to several subfamilies of Picard rank 19. The result generalizes work of van Geemen and Top.
