Abstract

Let kk be a field of characteristic 00. In this paper we describe a classification of smooth log K3 surfaces XX over kk whose geometric Picard group is trivial and which can be compactified into del Pezzo surfaces. We show that such an XX can always be compactified into a del Pezzo surface of degree 55, with a compactifying divisor DD being a cycle of five (1)(-1)-curves, and that XX is completely determined by the action of the absolute Galois group of kk on the dual graph of DD. When k=Qk=\mathbb{Q} and the Galois action is trivial, we prove that for any integral model X/Z\mathcal{X}/\mathbb{Z} of XX, the set of integral points X(Z)\mathcal{X}(\mathbb{Z}) is not Zariski dense. We also show that the Brauer-Manin obstruction is not the only obstruction for the integral Hasse principle on such log K3 surfaces, even when their compactification is "split".
