Let $E_i\!: y_i^2 = x_i^3 + a_4x_i + a_6$ be two copies ($i = 1$, $2$) of a supersingular elliptic curve over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{p^2}$, for odd prime $p > 3$. Consider the Kummer surface $...

Let $S$ be a uniruled surface, ie admits a dominant map $ f:X \times \mathbb{P}^1$. Why then it's canonical divisor $\omega_X$ cannot be trivial? Motivation: I want to understand why $K3$ surfaces ...

Consider a finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$ (where $p \equiv 1 \ (\mathrm{mod} \ 3)$, $p \equiv 3 \ (\mathrm{mod} \ 4)$), $\mathbb{F}_{p^2}$-isomorphic elliptic curves (of $j$-invariant $0$) $$ E\!:y_1^2 = ...

Let $X$ be an absolutely irreducible reduced surface over a finite field $k$ of characteristic $p$. What are sufficient and necessary conditions for $X$ to be a generalized Zariski surface over $k$ (...

Let $S_1, S_2$ be K3 surfaces defined over a field $k$ and $\phi\!: S_1 \dashrightarrow S_2$ a dominant rational $k$-map (so-called isogeny). It is known that $\rho(S_1) = \rho(S_2)$ for the complex ...
