To be held from March 31 to May 9, 2025 at Bernoulli Center
the programme "Arithmetic geometry of K3 surfaces"
The aim of this programme is to break new ground in the arithmetic theory of K3 surfaces and closely related varieties (e.g., Enriques and elliptic surfaces; hyper-Kähler varieties), capitalising on a web of recent advances and conjectural frameworks. Progress on the arithmetic of K3 surfaces will likely have important consequences for more general questions about Shimura varieties, abelian and hyper-Kähler varieties, their rational and algebraic points.
The programme consists of 5 weeks of research collaborations (working groups, research seminars) capped off by a one week workshop.
