The result is a special case of a more general one on exceptional classes for K3 type motives associated to GSpin Shimura varieties and several other applications are given. As a corollary, we give a new proof of the fact that $X_{\\overline{K}}$ has infinitely many rational curves.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-09-16T20:43:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "11G18", "14J28", "11G10" ], "keywords": [ "number field", "k3 surface", "exceptional jumps", "geometric picard rank jumps", "k3 type motives" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
