De Volder–Laface conjecture for linear systems on K3 surfaces

Let XX be a K3 surface with H2=n2ZH^2=n\in2{\mathbb{Z}}, and let L=Ln(d,m1,,mh){\mathcal{L}}={\mathcal{L}}^n(d,m_1,\dots,m_h) be the system of curves in dH|dH| through general points P1,,PhP_1,\dots,P_h with multiplicities at least m1,,mhm_1,\dots,m_h. De Volder–Laface conjecture. The following assertions hold: (i) L{\mathcal{L}} is special if and only if L=L4(d,2d){\mathcal{L}}={\mathcal{L}}^4(d,2d) or L=L2(d,d2){\mathcal{L}}={\mathcal{L}}^2(d,d^2) with d2d\geq2; (ii) if L{\mathcal{L}} is non-empty, its general divisor has exactly the imposed multiplicities at the points; (iii) if L{\mathcal{L}} is non-special and has a fixed irreducible component CC, then either L=L2(m+1,m+1,m)=mC+L2(1,1){\mathcal{L}}={\mathcal{L}}^2(m+1,m+1,m)=mC+{\mathcal{L}}^2(1,1) with C=L2(1,12)C={\mathcal{L}}^2(1,1^2), or L=2C{\mathcal{L}}=2C with C{L4(1,13),L6(1,1,2),L10(1,3)}C\in\{{\mathcal{L}}^4(1,1^3),{\mathcal{L}}^6(1,1,2),{\mathcal{L}}^{10}(1,3)\}, or L=C{\mathcal{L}}=C; (iv) if L{\mathcal{L}} has no fixed component, then either its general element is irreducible or L=L2(2,2){\mathcal{L}}={\mathcal{L}}^2(2,2). The conjecture gives a detailed classification of special and reducible systems on these K3 surfaces.
