On the computation of the Picard group for $K3$ surfaces

Algebraic Geometry 2015-05-19 v1

Abstract

We construct examples of K3K3 surfaces of geometric Picard rank 11. Our method is a refinement of that of R. van Luijk. It is based on an analysis of the Galois module structure on \'etale cohomology. This allows to abandon the original limitation to cases of Picard rank 22 after reduction modulo pp. Furthermore, the use of Galois data enables us to construct examples which require significantly less computation time.
