Compactifications of moduli spaces of K3 surfaces with a higher-order nonsymplectic automorphism

Abstract

We describe Baily-Borel, toroidal, and geometric -- using the KSBA stable pairs -- compactifications of some moduli spaces of K3 surfaces with a nonsymplectic automorphism of order 33 and 44 for which the fixed locus of the automorphism contains a curve of genus 2\ge2. For order 33, we treat all the maximal-dimensional such families. We show that the toroidal and the KSBA compactifications in these cases admit simple descriptions in terms of certain ADEADE root lattices.
