Abstract

We show that K3 surfaces in characteristic 2 can admit sets of nn disjoint smooth rational curves whose sum is divisible by 2 in the Picard group, for each n=8,12,16,20n=8,12,16,20. More precisely, all values occur on supersingular K3 surfaces, with exceptions only at Artin invariants 1 and 10, while on K3 surfaces of finite height, only n=8n=8 is possible.
