The Dihedral Group D5 as Group of Symplectic Automorphisms on K3 Surfaces

چکیده
We prove that if a K3 surface X admits Z/5Z as group of symplectic automorphisms, then it actually admits D5 as group of symplectic automorphisms. The orthogonal complement to the D5-invariants in the second cohomology group of X is a rank 16 lattice, L. It is known that L does not depend on X: we prove that it is isometric to a lattice recently described by R. L. Griess Jr. and C. H. Lam. We also give an elementary construction of L.

متن کاملElliptic K3 Surfaces with Abelian and Dihedral Groups of Symplectic Automorphisms
We analyze K3 surfaces admitting an elliptic fibration E and a finite group G of symplectic automorphisms preserving this elliptic fibration. We construct the quotient elliptic fibration E/G comparing its properties to the ones of E. We show that if E admits an n-torsion section, its quotient by the group of automorphisms induced by this section admits again an n-torsion section. Considering au...
متن کاملMaximal Subgroups of the Mathieu Group M23 and Symplectic Automorphisms of Supersingular K3 Surfaces
We show that the Mathieu groups M22 and M11 can act on the supersingular K3 surface with Artin invariant 1 in characteristic 11 as symplectic automorphisms. More generally we show that all maximal subgroups of the Mathieu group M23 with three orbits on 24 letters act on a supersingular K3 surface with Artin invariant 1 in a suitable characteristic.
متن کاملSymplectic Automorphisms and the Picard Group of a K3 Surface
Let X be a K3 surface, and let G be a finite group acting on X by automorphisms. The action of G on X induces an action on the cohomology of X . We assume G acts symplectically: that is, G acts as the identity on H(X). In this case, the minimum resolution Y of the quotient X/G is itself a K3 surface. Nikulin classified the finite abelian groups which act symplectically on K3 surfaces by analyzi...
متن کاملElliptic Fibrations and Symplectic Automorphisms on K3 Surfaces
Nikulin has classified all finite abelian groups acting symplectically on a K3 surface and he has shown that the induced action on the K3 lattice U⊕E8(−1) depends only on the group but not on the K3 surface. For all the groups in the list of Nikulin we compute the invariant sublattice and its orthogonal complement by using some special elliptic K3 surfaces.
