Várilly-Alvarado's strong uniform boundedness conjecture for K3 Brauer groups

About 6 years old · traced to

Fix a positive integer nn and a primitive lattice embedding

Λ↪ΛK3:=U⊕3⊕E8⊕2.\Lambda\hookrightarrow\Lambda_{K3}:=U^{\oplus 3}\oplus E_8^{\oplus 2}.

Let XX be a K3 surface over a number field of degree nn such that the geometric Néron–Severi lattice NS⁡X‾\operatorname{NS}\overline{X} is isomorphic to Λ\Lambda as an abstract lattice. Strong uniform boundedness conjecture. There is a constant C(n,Λ)C(n,\Lambda), independent of XX, such that

#(Br⁡X/Br⁡0X)≤C(n,Λ).\#\bigl(\operatorname{Br}X/\operatorname{Br}_0X\bigr)\leq C(n,\Lambda).

The conjecture asserts uniformity after fixing both the degree of the field of definition and the geometric Néron–Severi lattice; the paper studies explicit bounds in important cases, but the stated general uniform assertion remains open.
