contents Let $\mathscr{X} \rightarrow C$ be a non-isotrivial and generically ordinary family of K3 surfaces over a proper curve $C$ in characteristic $p \geq 5$. We prove that the geometric Picard rank jumps at infinitely many closed points of $C$. More generally, suppose that we are given the canonical model of a Shimura variety $\mathcal{S}$ of orthogonal type, associated to a lattice of signature $(b,2)$ that is self-dual at $p$. We prove that any generically ordinary proper curve $C$ in $\mathcal{S}_{\overline{\mathbb{F}}_p}$ intersects special divisors of $\mathcal{S}_{\overline{\mathbb{F}}_p}$ at infinitely many points. As an application, we prove the ordinary Hecke orbit conjecture of Chai--Oort in this setting; that is, we show that ordinary points in $\mathcal{S}_{\overline{\mathbb{F}}_p}$ have Zariski-dense Hecke orbits. We also deduce the ordinary Hecke orbit conjecture for certain families of unitary Shimura varieties.

Let $\mathscr{X} \rightarrow C$ be a non-isotrivial and generically ordinary family of K3 surfaces over a proper curve $C$ in characteristic $p \geq 5$. We prove that the geometric Picard rank jumps at infinitely many closed points of $C$. More generally, suppose that we are given the canonical model of a Shimura variety $\mathcal{S}$ of orthogonal type, associated to a lattice of signature $(b,2)$ that is self-dual at $p$. We prove that any generically ordinary proper curve $C$ in $\mathcal{S}_{\overline{\mathbb{F}}_p}$ intersects special divisors of $\mathcal{S}_{\overline{\mathbb{F}}_p}$ at infinitely many points. As an application, we prove the ordinary Hecke orbit conjecture of Chai--Oort in this setting; that is, we show that ordinary points in $\mathcal{S}_{\overline{\mathbb{F}}_p}$ have Zariski-dense Hecke orbits.
