Fubini–Study Chern number conjecture for singular K3 surfaces

Let XPC3X\subseteq\mathbb{P}_\mathbb{C}^3 be a possibly singular K3 surface, and let XsX_s be its smooth locus with curvature form JJ induced by the Fubini–Study metric on PC3\mathbb{P}_\mathbb{C}^3. Suppose that the singularities of XX are isolated and of type A1A_1. Fubini–Study Chern number conjecture. Then

X\SingXc2(J)c1(J)2=24=χ(K3).\int_{X\backslash \operatorname{Sing}X} c_2(J)-c_1(J)^2=24=\chi(\operatorname{K3}).

The conjecture is prompted by numerical Monte Carlo evaluations for the family studied in the paper, where the displayed identity appears for the singular examples. Its general validity for all possibly singular K3 surfaces satisfying the stated hypotheses is not established here.
