Some Calabi-Yau threefolds with obstructed deformations over the Witt vectors
Published 2003-02-06, updated 2003-06-29Version 2
I construct some smooth Calabi-Yau threefolds in characteristic two and three that do not lift to characteristic zero. These threefolds are pencils of supersingular K3-surfaces. The construction depends on Moret-Bailly's pencil of abelian surfaces and Katsura's analysis of generalized Kummer surfaces. The threefold in characteristic two turns out to be nonrigid.
Comments: 16 pages, some proofs simplified, discriminants in Theorem 6.4 corrected
