Abstract

We prove that isogenous K3 surfaces have isomorphic Chow motives. This provides a motivic interpretation of a long standing conjecture of Safarevich which has been settled only recently by Buskin. The main step consists of a new proof of Safarevich's conjecture that circumvents the analytic parts in Buskin's approach, avoiding twistor spaces and non-algebraic K3 surfaces.
