  1. Abstract This article reports on an approach to point counting on algebraic varieties over finite fields that is based on a detailed investigation of the 2-adic orthogonal group. Combining the new approach with a p -adic method, we count the number of points on some K 3 surfaces over the field $$\mathbb {F}_{\!p}$$ F p , for all primes $$p < 10^8$$ p < 10 8 .

  2. Abstract We report on our results concerning the distribution of the geometric Picard ranks of K 3 surfaces under reduction modulo various primes. In the situation that $${\mathop {{\mathrm{rk}}}\nolimits \mathop {{\mathrm{Pic}}}\nolimits S_{{\overline{K}}}}$$ rk Pic S K ¯ is even, we introduce a quadratic character, called the jump character, such that $${\mathop {{\mathrm{rk}}}\nolimits \mathop {{\mathrm{Pic}}}\nolimits S_{{\overline{{\mathbb {F}}}}_{\!{{\mathfrak {p}}}}} > \mathop {{\mathrm{rk}}}\nolimits \mathop {{\mathrm{Pic}}}\nolimits S_{{\overline{K}}}}$$ rk Pic S F ¯ p > rk Pic S K ¯ for all good primes at which the character evaluates to $$(-1)$$ ( - 1 ) .
