Algebraicity Of Rational Hodge Isometries Of K3 Surfaces, Nikolay Buskin

Doctoral Dissertations

Consider any rational Hodge isometry $\psi:H^2(S_1,\QQ)\rightarrow H^2(S_2,\QQ)$ between any two K\"ahler $K3$ surfaces $S_1$ and $S_2$. We prove that the cohomology class of $\psi$ in $H^{2,2}(S_1\times S_2)$ is a polynomial in Chern classes of coherent analytic sheaves over $S_1 \times S_2$. Consequently, the cohomology class of $\psi$ is algebraic whenever $S_1$ and $S_2$ are algebraic.
