Schoen's conjecture on products of curves dominating very general K3 surfaces
Let be a very general K3 surface. A dominant rational map from the product of two smooth projective curves to is a rational map whose image is dense in . Schoen's conjecture. There can be no dominant rational map from the product of two smooth projective curves to . This expectation concerns the nonexistence of isotrivial families of smooth curves dominating a very general K3 surface; the source attributes it, as a question, to Schoen.
