The intersection calculation in part (vi)(a) gives . Part (vi)(b), with its necessary qualification, excludes every nonzero fixed part. Thus and is movable. Part (v) gives , and by hypothesis. Applying part (ii) provesThus a nontrivial nef divisor of square zero on a K3 surface defines a fibration over a curve; the key step is fixed-part elimination on a K3 surface.
