Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

We study the behavior of geometric Picard ranks of K3 surfaces over Q under reduction modulo primes. We compute these ranks for reductions of smooth quartic surfaces modulo all primes p < 216 in several representative examples and investigate the resulting statistics.
