Density of rational points on K3 surfaces over function fields

In this paper, we study sections of a Calabi-Yau threefold fibered over a curve by
K3 surfaces. We show that there exist infinitely many isolated sections on certain K3
fibered Calabi-Yau threefolds and the subgroup of the NĀ“eron-Severi group generated
by these sections is not finitely generated. This also gives examples of K3 surfaces
over the function field F of a complex curve with Zariski dense F-rational points,
whose geometric models are Calabi-Yau.
Furthermore, we also generalize our results to the cases of families of higher dimensional
Calabi-Yau varieties with Calabi-Yau ambient spaces.
