K3 surfaces with Picard rank 20

Abstract: We determine all complex K3 surfaces with Picard rank 20 over ‫.ޑ‬ Here the Néron-Severi group has rank 20 and is generated by divisors which are defined over ‫.ޑ‬ Our proof uses modularity, the Artin-Tate conjecture and class group theory. With different techniques, the result has been established by Elkies to show that Mordell-Weil rank 18 over ‫ޑ‬ is impossible for an elliptic K3 surface. We apply our methods to general singular K3 surfaces, that is, those with Néron-Severi group of rank 20, but not necessa… Show more

“…As the discriminant of Pic S 1 is −8, we know by Elkies and Schütt (cf. [26,Section 10]) that the geometric Picard lattice of S 1 is realised over Q, i.e., Pic S 1 = Pic S 1 . This can also be directly observed by noting that all the divisors used are defined over Q.…”

“…Then, Elkies and Shütt (see [ES13] and [Sch10]) were lead to the quest of finding all singular K3 surfaces with Picard rank 20 over ℚ, both to answer some questions raised by Shioda and to find a geometric realisation of CM newforms of weight 3 (after a Theorem of Livné [Liv95] we know that if a singular K3 surface is defined over ℚ, then its associated Galois representation is modular). Their results use specialisation of families of K3 surfaces { } with ( ) ≥ 19, the theory of CM elliptic curves and the particular geometry of singular K3 surfaces (in particular their elliptic fibrations).…”
