Separation of periods of quartic surfaces

Pierre Lairez and Emre Can Sertöz

Vol. 17 (2023), No. 10, 1753–1778
Abstract

We give a computable lower bound for the distance between two distinct periods of a given quartic surface defined over the algebraic numbers. The main ingredient is the determination of height bounds on components of the Noether–Lefschetz loci. This makes it possible to study the Diophantine properties of periods of quartic surfaces and to certify a part of the numerical computation of their Picard groups.
