We generalise the notion of the Tate-Shafarevich group of an elliptic K3 surface with a section to the Tate-Shafarevich group of a K3 surface endowed with a linear system. The construction, which uses Grothendieck's special Brauer group,…
The Shafarevich conjecture for K3 surfaces asserts the finiteness of isomorphism classes of K3 surfaces over a fixed number field admitting good reduction away from a fixed finite set of finite places. Andr\'{e} proved this conjecture for…
Following (and elaborating on) a method of Logan and van Luijk, we exhibit explicit genus-2 curves whose Jacobians have nontrivial 2-torsion in their Tate-Shafarevich groups.
We calculate the Tate-Shafarevich group of an elliptic three-fold $f:X\rightarrow S$ when $X$ and $S$ are regular and $f$ is flat, relating it to the Brauer group of $X$ and $S$. We show that given certain hypotheses on $f$, the…
The Shafarevich conjecture/problem is about the finiteness of isomorphism classes of a family of varieties defined over a number field with good reduction outside a finite collection of places. For K3 surfaces, such a finiteness result was…

We prove the unpolarized Shafarevich conjecture for K3 surfaces: the set of isomorphism classes of K3 surfaces over a fixed number field with good reduction away from a fixed and finite set of places is finite. Our proof is based on the…
This article generalises to K\"ahler orbifolds general results on uniformisation of compact K\"ahler manifolds such as the Shafarevich conjecture for linear fundamental groups.
This article is devoted to examples of (orbifold) K\"ahler groups from the perspective of the so-called Shafarevich conjecture on holomorphic convexity. It aims at pointing out that every quasi-projective complex manifold with an…
The structure of the Tate-Shafarevich groups of a class of elliptic curves over global function fields is determined. These are known to be finite abelian groups from the monograph [1] and hence they are direct sums of finite cyclic groups…
Given a smooth geometrically connected curve $C$ over a field $k$ and a smooth commutative group scheme $G$ of finite type over the function field $K$ of $C$ we study the Tate--Shafarevich groups given by elements of $H^1(K,G)$ locally…
Let $k$ a field of characteristic zero. Let $X$ be a smooth, projective, geometrically rational $k$-surface. Let $\mathcal{T}$ be a universal torsor over $X$ with a $k$-point et $\mathcal{T}^c$ a smooth compactification of $\mathcal{T}$.…
We discuss the geometry of the genus one fibrations associated to an elliptic fibration on a K3 surface. We show that the two-torsion subgroup of the Brauer group of a general elliptic fibration is naturally isomorphic to the two-torsion of…
We describe a general (primitively) polarized K3 surface $(S,h)$ with $(h^2)=24$ as a complete intersection variety with respect to vector bundles on the $6$-dimensional moduli space $\mathcal{N}^-$ of the stable vector bundles of rank two…
Let A be an abelian surface over a fixed number field. If A is principally polarised, then it is known that the order of the Tate-Shafarevich group of A must, if finite, be a square or twice a square. The situation for A not principally…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field of odd characteristic $p$. We exhibit elliptic curves over the rational function field $K = \mathbb{F}_q(t)$ whose Tate-Shafarevich groups are large. More precisely, we consider certain infinite…
We study complex algebraic K3 surfaces of Picard ranks 11,12, and 13 of finite automorphism group that admit a Jacobian elliptic fibration with a section of order two. We prove that the K3 surfaces admit a birational model isomorphic to a…
The aim of these notes is to acquaint the reader with important objects in complex algebraic geometry: K3 surfaces and their higher-dimensional analogs, hyperk\"ahler manifolds. These manifolds are interesting from several points of view:…
We extend to compact K\"ahler manifolds some classical results on linear representation of fundamental groups of complex projective manifolds. Our approach based on an interversion lemma for fibrations with tori versus general type…
The naive analogue of the N\'eron-Ogg-Shafarevich criterion is false for K3 surfaces, that is, there exist K3 surfaces over Henselian, discretely valued fields $K$, with unramified $\ell$-adic \'etale cohomology groups, but which do not…
