Inose's construction and elliptic K3 surfaces with Mordell-Weil rank 15 revisited (1604.00738v3)
Published 4 Apr 2016 in math.AG
Abstract: We describe two constructions of elliptic K3 surfaces starting from the Kummer surface of the Jacobian of a genus 2 curve. These parallel the base-change constructions of Kuwata for the Kummer surface of a product of two elliptic curves. One of these also involves the analogue of an Inose fibration. We use these methods to provide explicit examples of elliptic K3 surfaces over the rationals of geometric Mordell-Weil rank 15.
