Rational Curves on K3 Surfaces

Algebraic Geometry 2012-05-15 v2

Abstract

We show that projective K3 surfaces with odd Picard rank contain infinitely many rational curves. Our proof extends the Bogomolov-Hassett-Tschinkel approach, i.e., uses moduli spaces of stable maps and reduction to positive characteristic.
