Rational curves on K3 surfaces of small genus

Abstract

Let Bg\mathfrak B_g denote the moduli space of primitively polarized K3K3 surfaces (S,H)(S,H) of genus gg over C\mathbb C. It is well-known that Bg\mathfrak B_g is irreducible and that there are only finitely many rational curves in H|H| for any primitively polarized K3K3 surface (S,H)(S,H). So we can ask the question of finding the monodromy group of such curves. The case of g=2g=2 essentially follows from the results of Harris \cite{Ha} to be the full symmetric group S324S_{324}, here we solve the case g=3g=3 and 44.
