Are all these K3 surfaces supersingular?

Consider all the smooth K3 surfaces given by $X^4+W^2X^2+XW^3 = f(Y,Z,W)$ or $X^4+XW^3 = g(Y,Z,W)$ over $\mathbb F_{2}$ with $f$ or $g$ homogenous of degree 4. There are a lot of choices for $f$ and $...

Is a Kummer surface over an finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ supersingular iff $\mathbb{F}_q$-unirational?

Let $A$ be an abelian surface over an finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. In particular, I am interested in the case when $A$ is a Jacobian variety. Is the Kummer surface $K_A/\mathbb{F}_q$ Shioda-...

Is there a way to calculate the Picard $\mathbb{F}_q$-number of an (rational or K3) elliptic surface?

Consider a finite field $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ and an elliptic surface $$ \mathcal{E}\!: y^2 + a_1(t)xy + a_3(t)y = x^3 + a_2(t)x^2 + a_4(t)x + a_6, $$ where $a_i(t) \in \mathbb{F}_{q}[t]$. Is there a way ...

Are unirational K3 surfaces defined over finite fields?

Is every supersingular (thus unirational for ${\rm char }\ k = p\geq 5$, from Liedtke) $K3$ surface defined over a finite field? I guess this is true for Kummer surfaces, for example, since ...

Automorphisms of finite order on $K3$ surfaces

Is there a $K3$ surface (algebraic, complex) that has infinitely many automorphisms of finite order? Many K3 surfaces have infinite automorphism groups. In particular, all K3 surfaces of Picard ...

Example of a K3 surface with two non-symplectic involutions

$\DeclareMathOperator\Pic{Pic}$Let $X$ be a K3 surface (algebraic, complex). An involution $\sigma:X\rightarrow X$ is called non-symplectic if it acts as multiplication by $-1$ on $H^{2,0}(X)=\Bbb{C}\...

Is there a way to explicitly find any rational $\mathbb{F}_p$-curve on the Kummer surface?

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 = ...

Quotient of K3 surface: complex vs positive characteristic

Let $f: X \to X$ be a non-symplectic automorphism of finite order of complex projective K3 surface $X$. (Recall: Non-symplectic means that the induced action on $H(X,K_X)=H^0(X, \Omega_X^2)$ is not ...
