The Tate-Shafarevich group of a polarised K3 surface

In an earlier paper we generalised the notion of the Tate-Shafarevich group of an elliptic K3 surface to the Tate-Shafarevich group of a polarised K3 surface. In the present note, we complement the result by proving that the Tate-Shafarevich group of a polarised K3 surface (S,h) with h primitive parametrises bijectively all torsors for the Jacobian of the generic curve in the linear system |h| that admit a good hyperkähler compactification. The result is seen as the analogue of the classical fact that the Tate-Shafarevich group of an elliptic K3 surface is the subgroup of the Weil-Châtelet group of all twists that can be compactified to a K3 surface.

Abstract

In an earlier paper we generalised the notion of the Tate-Shafarevich group of an elliptic K3 surface to the Tate-Shafarevich group of a polarised K3 surface. In the present note, we complement the result by proving that the Tate-Shafarevich group of a polarised K3 surface (S,h) with h primitive parametrises bijectively all torsors for the Jacobian of the generic curve in the linear system |h| that admit a good hyperkähler compactification. The result is seen as the analogue of the classical fact that the Tate-Shafarevich group of an elliptic K3 surface is the subgroup of the Weil-Châtelet group of all twists that can be compactified to a K3 surface.
