We investigate configurations of rational double points with the total Milnor number 21 on supersingular $K3$ surfaces. The complete list of possible configurations is given. As an application, we also give the complete list of extremal…
A K3 surface over a number field has infinitely many rational points over a finite field extension. For K3 surfaces of degree 2, arising as double covers of $\mathbb{P}^2$ branched along a smooth sextic curve, we give a bound for the degree…
We study the distribution of algebraic points on K3 surfaces.
We classify normal supersingular K3 surfaces Y with total Milnor number 20 in characteristic p, where p is an odd prime that does not divide the discriminant of the Dynkin type of the rational double points on Y.
We show that, for every prime number p, there exist infinitely many K3 surfaces over Q whose rational points lie dense in the space of p-adic points. We also show that there exists a K3 surface over Q whose rational points lie dense in the…
We study K3 surfaces with 9 cusps, i.e. 9 disjoint $A_2$ configurations of smooth rational curves, over algebraically closed fields of characteristic $p\neq 3$. Much like in the complex situation studied by Barth, we prove that each such…
We determine all configurations of rational double points that occur on RDP del Pezzo surfaces of arbitrary degree and Picard rank over an algebraically closed field $k$ of arbitrary characteristic ${\rm char}(k)=p \geq 0$, generalizing…
We show that K3 surfaces in characteristic 2 can admit sets of $n$ disjoint smooth rational curves whose sum is divisible by 2 in the Picard group, for each $n=8,12,16,20$. More precisely, all values occur on supersingular K3 surfaces, with…
We show that every supersingular K3 surface is birational to a double cover of a projective plane.
We describe the possible 3-divisible $A_2^n$ configurations of smooth rational curves on K3 surfaces in characteristic 3 and fully classify the resulting triple covers.
We classify, up to some lattice-theoretic equivalence, all possible configurations of rational double points that can appear on a surface whose minimal resolution is a complex Enriques surface.
We discuss K3 surfaces in characteristic two that contain the Kummer configuration formed by smooth rational curves on it.
In this paper we compute upper bounds for the number of ordinary triple points on a hypersurface in $P^3$ and give a complete classification for degree six (degree four or less is trivial, and five is elementary). But the real purpose is to…
We prove that for any of a wide class of elliptic surfaces $X$ defined over a number field $k$, if there is an algebraic point on $X$ that lies on only finitely many rational curves, then there is an algebraic point on $X$ that lies on no…
We show that the maximal number of singular points of a normal quartic surface $X \subset \mathbb{P}^3_K$ defined over an algebraically closed field $K$ of characteristic 2 is at most 12, if the minimal resolution of $X$ is not a…
We improve a bound due to the second author on number of rational points on smooth surfaces in $\mathbb{P}^3$ over finite fields and look at families of surfaces that achieve or nearly achieve this bound, for which we compute their exact…
An example of potential density of rational points on the second punctual Hilbert scheme of certain K3 surfaces is treated in detail. This is an amplification of some remarks made by O'Grady and Oguiso.
We give a new example of potential density of rational points on the third punctual Hilbert scheme of a K3 surface.
Let $X$ be a K3 surface defined over a number field $K$. Assume that $X$ admits a structure of an elliptic fibration or an infinite group of automorphisms. Then there exists a finite extension $K'/K$ such that the set of $K'$-rational…
We prove that any non-isotrivial elliptic K3 surface over an algebraically closed field $k$ of arbitrary characteristic contains infinitely many rational curves. In the case when $\mathrm{char}(k)\neq 2,3$, we prove this result for any…
