Curves of maximal moduli on K3 surfaces

We prove that if X is a complex projective K3 surface and $g>0$ , then there exist infinitely many families of curves of geometric genus g on X with maximal, i.e., g -dimensional, variation in moduli. In particular, every K3 surface contains a curve of geometric genus 1 which moves in a nonisotrivial family. This implies a conjecture of Huybrechts on constant cycle curves and gives an algebro-geometric proof of a theorem of Kobayashi that a K3 surface has no global symmetric differential forms.
