Every rational Hodge isometry between two K3 surfaces is algebraic
Abstract:
We prove that cohomology classes in $H^{2,2}(S_1\times S_2)$ of Hodge isometries $$\psi \colon H^2(S_1,\mathbb Q)\rightarrow H^2(S_2,\mathbb Q)$$ between any two projective complex $K3$ surfaces $S_1$ and $S_2$ are polynomials in Chern classes of coherent analytic sheaves. Consequently, the cohomology class of $\psi$ is algebraic This proves a conjecture of Shafarevich announced at ICM in 1970.
