Abstract:
The purpose of this article is to study a certain kind of numerical K3 surfaces, the so-called K3 carpets. These are double structures on rational normal scrolls with trivial dualizing sheaf and irregularity $0$. As is deduced from our study, K3 carpets can be obtained as degenerations of smooth K3 surfaces. We also study the Hilbert scheme near the locus parametrizing K3 carpets, characterizing those K3 carpets whose corresponding Hilbert point is smooth. Contrary to the case of canonical ribbons, not all K3 carpets are smooth points of the Hilbert scheme.References
