We show that on every elliptic K3 surface there are rational curves (𝑅 𝑖 ) 𝑖∈ℕ such that 𝑅 2 𝑖 → ∞, that is, of unbounded arithmetic genus. Moreover, we show that the union of the lifts of these curves to ℙ(Ω 𝑋 ) is dense in the Zariski topology. As an application, we give a simple proof of a theorem of Kobayashi in the elliptic case, that is, there are no globally defined symmetric differential forms.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
