Zariski K3 surfaces

Abstract

We construct Zariski K3 surfaces of Artin invariant 1, 2 and 3 in many characteristics. In particular, we prove that any supersingular Kummer surface is Zariski if the characteristic is not congruent to 1 modulo 12. Our methods combine different approaches such as quotients by the group scheme ${\alpha }_p$, Kummer surfaces, and automorphisms of elliptic and hyperelliptic curves.
