چکیده
For a prime p, we study subgroups of order p of the Brauer group Br(S) of a general complex polarized K3 surface of degree 2d, generalizing earlier work of van Geemen. These groups correspond to sublattices of index p of the transcendental lattice TS of S; we classify these lattices up to isomorphism using Nikulin’s discriminant form technique. We then study geometric realizations of p-torsion Brauer elements as Brauer-Severi varieties in a few cases via projective duality. We use one of these constructions for an arithmetic application, giving new kinds of counter-examples to weak approximation on K3 surfaces of degree two.

متن کاملOn the Arithmetic of Del Pezzo Surfaces of Degree
— We study the arithmetic of certain Del Pezzo surfaces of degree 2. We produce examples of Brauer-Manin obstruction to the Hasse principle, coming from 2and 4-torsion elements in the Brauer group.
متن کاملOn Brauer Groups of Double Covers of Ruled
— Let X be a smooth double cover of a geometrically ruled surface defined over a separably closed field of characteristic different from 2. The main result of this paper is a finite presentation of the 2-torsion in the Brauer group of X with generators given by central simple algebras over the function field of X and relations coming from the Néron-Severi group of X. The path to this result nat...

Arithmetic of K3 surfaces defined over finite fields are investigated. In particular, we show that any K3 surface X of finite height over a finite field k of characteristic p ≥ 5 has a quasi-canonical lifting Z to characteristic 0, and that for any such Z, the endormorphism algebra of the transcendental cycles V (Z), as a Hodge module, is a CM field over Q. We illustrate by examples how to dete...
متن کاملArithmetic of Del Pezzo Surfaces of Degree 4 and Vertical Brauer Groups
We show that Brauer classes of a locally solvable degree 4 del Pezzo surface X are vertical for some projection away from a plane g : X 99K P, i.e., that every Brauer class is obtained by pullback from an element of Brk(P). As a consequence, we prove that a Brauer class obstructs the existence of a k-rational point if and only if all k-fibers of g fail to be locally solvable, or in other words,...
