Abstract

We study K3 surfaces with 9 cusps, i.e. 9 disjoint A 2 configurations of smooth rational curves, over algebraically closed fields of characteristic p≠3. Much like in the complex situation studied by Barth, we prove that each such surface admits a triple covering by an abelian surface. Conversely, we determine which abelian surfaces with order three automorphisms give rise to K3 surfaces. We also investigate how K3 surfaces with 9 cusps hit the supersingular locus.
