Abstract
In this paper, we consider the problem of determining which automorphisms of a smooth quartic surface are induced by a Cremona transformation of . We provide the first steps towards a complete solution of this problem when . In particular, we give several examples of quartics whose automorphism groups are generated by involutions, but no non-trivial automorphism is induced by a Cremona transformation of , giving a negative answer for Oguiso's question of whether every automorphism of finite order of a smooth quartic surface is induced by a Cremona transformation.
