Nodal rational curves conjecture for very general polarized K3 surfaces
Let be a very general polarized surface. A rational curve in is a curve of geometric genus . Nodal rational curves conjecture. All rational curves in are nodal. The case of rational curves is a genuine exception to the preceding nodality result in the source, which gives examples with cusps on special quartic sections; the conjecture predicts that such singularities do not occur for a very general polarized surface and is important for enumerative formulas for rational curves.
