Artin–Rudakov–Shafarevich–Shioda conjecture on supersingular K3 surfaces

Let kk be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0p>0. A K3 surface over kk is supersingular if the slope [0,1)[0,1) part of its rigid cohomology vanishes. It is unirational if there is a dominant rational map from some projective space to it.

Artin–Rudakov–Shafarevich–Shioda conjecture. A K3 surface over kk is supersingular if and only if it is unirational.

This conjecture concerns the relationship between the crystalline or rigid-cohomological notion of supersingularity and unirationality in positive characteristic. It is presented as a motivating conjecture for the paper's study of supersingular and rationally chain connected threefolds.
