Stable maps and Chow groups (Q374003)

Let us consider a \(K3\) surface \(X\) and a symplectic involution \(f\) on \(X\) that acts as the identity on the transcendental lattice. The aim of the article is to prove that the action of \(f\) on \(\mathrm{CH}^2(X)\) is trivial. In order to prove this, the authors consider the generic deformation of special elliptic \(K3\) surfaces. Thanks to a particular choice of genus one curves on these surfaces, they obtain a family of integral genus one curves that avoid the singular locus of the symplectic involution. Then they prove that this gives the trivial action on the \(\mathrm{CH}^2(X)\) and leads to the proof of the theorem. The authors also suggest how to extend this result for \(K3\) surfaces with symplectic automorphisms of order 3, 5 and 7.
