geometry-topology / Complex geometry: Oka theory and holomorphic flexibility

Are all complex K3 surfaces Oka manifolds?

Theorem 1.1: for every complex K3 surface XX, every m≥1m\ge1, every compact convex K⊂CmK\subset\mathbb C^m and every holomorphic ff near KK with values in XX, ff is a uniform limit on KK of entire maps Cm→X\mathbb C^m\to X; hence XX is Oka. Corollaries: dense immersed entire curves with prescribed first jet (Zariski dense if projective, the K3 case of Campana's prediction); Enriques surfaces and hence all minimal compact complex surfaces of Kodaira dimension zero are Oka; and, using the companion global-spherical-shell paper, a minimal class VII surface is Oka exactly when it is Hopf or Enoki. Not shown: the Oka property for other surfaces of non-negative Kodaira dimension, or for higher-dimensional hyperkahler manifolds.
