Topic:
The Manin conjectures describe for geometrically easy varieties how the
number of their rational points of bounded height should grow as the
height bound varies. In this talk I will describe recent computations
that suggest a similar statement for K3 surfaces, which are
geometrically more complicated. Part of the talk will focus on how to
count the number of points in a specific example, using a variation of
an algorithm by Noam Elkies.
