\(K3\) surfaces, rational curves, and rational points




Abstract: We prove that for any of a wide class of elliptic surfaces X defined over a number field k, if there is an algebraic point on X that lies on only finitely many rational curves, then there is an algebraic point on X that lies on no rational curves. In particular, our theorem applies to a large class of elliptic K3 surfaces, which relates to a question posed by Bogomolov in 1981. We apply our results to construct an explicit algebraic point on a K3 surface that does not lie on any smooth rational curves.
