    Sheaves with zero Chern classes on a $K3$ surface.
                Let $S$ be a $K3$ surface. Is it true that any sheaf on $S$ with zero Chern classes is isomorphic to $\mathcal{O}_S^{\oplus n}$ for some $n$? If not, do you have any counterexample?

    Is this an embedding of $S^{[2]}$?
                The intersection of 3 quadrics in $P^5$ is a K3 surface $S$. 
There is a natural map $S^{[2]} \to G(1,5)$ well defined everywhere, because a generic K3 doesn't contain any line and this family is ...

    $K3$ surfaces in $\mathbb P^1 \times \mathbb P^1 \times \mathbb P^1$
                I am considering $K3$ surfaces in $\mathbb P^1 \times \mathbb P^1 \times \mathbb P^1$ with an automorphism that preserves an ample divisor class.
For an automorphism $\rho$ of a $K3$ surface, let ${\...

    Infinitely many rational nt multisection in elliptic K3 surfaces by deformation theory
                I'm trying to read this paper of Bogomolov and Tschinkel http://arxiv.org/pdf/math/9902092.pdf about potential density of rational points on elliptic K3 Surfaces. 
I got quite stuck in Corollary 3.27 ...

    Linear system on an abelian surface
                On a K3 surface $S$, a linear system $|C|$ is said to be hyperelliptic if the corresponding map is of degree 2 and the image is of degree $g_a(C)-1$ in $\mathbb P^{g_a}$. 
For $g_a(C) > 2$, if $|C|...

    complex K3 surfaces with automorphisms of given orders

    Obstruction in construction of some lattices, related with $K3$ surfaces

This leads to the following simple problem in lattice theory:
(Let me borrow notations for lattice from Ch.14 of this ...

    Does the Mukai's lemma hold for non-algebraic $K3$ surfaces?

Let $X$ and $Y$ be two $K3$ surfaces. Then the Mukai vector of any ...
