Pointless K3 surfaces over finite fields

Tue Nov 17, 21:00-22:00 (4 weeks from now)
Lecture held in Seeley Mudd 207 @Amherst College.

Abstract: We identify those finite fields over which there exists a K3 surface with no rational points. We compare two recent derivations of this by Brandhorst-Takada and Auel-Engel-Kedlaya-Shaikh, which use somewhat different techniques.
