DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/Geolis/74/">
 What is the right combinatorics for spheres in K3 surfaces?</a>\nby Gianca
 rlo Urzua (Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile) as part of Geometria
  em Lisboa (IST)\n\n\nAbstract\nTogether with Javier Reyes\, in https://ar
 xiv.org/abs/2110.10629 we have been able to construct compact 4-manifolds 
 $3\\mathbb{CP}^2\\#(19-K^2)\\overline{\\mathbb{CP}}^2$ with complex struct
 ures for $K^2=1\,2\,3\,4\,5\,6\,7\,8\,9$. The cases $K^2=7\,9$ are complet
 ely new in the literature\, and this finishes with the whole range allowed
  by the technique of Q-Gorenstein smoothing (rational blow-down). But one 
 can go further: Is it possible to find minimal exotic $3\\mathbb{CP}^2\\#(
 19-K^2)\\overline{\\mathbb{CP}}^2$ for $K^2\\geq10$? Here it would be much
  harder to prove the existence of complex structures\, but\, as a motivati
 on\, there is not even one example for $K^2 > 15$\, and very few for $10 \
 \leq K^2 \\leq 15$ (see e.g. works by Akhmedov\, Park\, Baykur). In this t
 alk I will explain the constructions in connection with the geography of s
 pheres arrangements in $K3$ surfaces\, where the question of the title ari
 ses. We do not have an answer. So far we have been implementing what we kn
 ow in computer searches\, finding these very rare exotic surfaces for $K^2
 =10\,11\,12$. This is a new and huge world which promises more findings\, 
 we have explored very little.\n
