What conditions are sufficient for two points to be independent in the Mordell-Weil group?
Consider a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ and an elliptic surface
$$
\mathcal{E}\!: y^2 + a_1(t)xy + a_3(t)y = x^3 + a_2(t)x^2 + a_4(t)x + a_6(t),
$$
where $a_i(t) \in \mathbb{F}_{q}[t]$. I am mainly ...

Is a supersingular Kummer surface $k$-unirational in characteristic 2?
Let $k$ be a perfect field of even characteristic. Consider the simplest example of a supersingular genus 2 curve, i.e.,
$$
C\!: y^2 + y = x^5.
$$
By the article of J. S. Müller "Explicit Kummer ...
