Artin–Shioda conjecture on unirationality of supersingular K3 surfaces
Let be an algebraically closed field, and let be a surface over . The surface is supersingular if its Picard number is , equivalently its Picard number equals its second Betti number. A surface is unirational if there exists a dominant rational map
Artin–Shioda conjecture. Every supersingular surface is unirational.
Shioda proved that every smooth projective unirational surface is supersingular, and Artin and Shioda conjectured the converse for surfaces. The supplied paper proves the conjecture for supersingular surfaces in characteristic with Artin invariant at most ; the general case is not resolved in the supplied context.
