New examples of geometrically special varieties: K3 surfaces, Enriques surfaces, and algebraic groups

Algebraic Geometry 2025-02-14 v1

Abstract

We verify that elliptic K3 surfaces and algebraic groups have many rational points over function fields, i.e., they are geometrically special in the sense of Javanpeykar-Rousseau. We also show that under additional assumptions, this geometric specialness persists under removal of closed subsets of codimension at least two.
