K3 surfaces with maximal finite automorphism groups containing $M\_{20}$
Abstract
It was shown by Mukai that the maximum order of a finite group acting faithfully and symplectically on a K3 surface is and that the group is isomorphic to the group . Then Kondo showed that the maximum order of a finite group acting faithfully on a K3 surface is and this group contains the Mathieu group with index four. Kondo also showed that there is a unique K3 surface on which this group acts faithfully, which is the Kummer surface . In this paper we describe two more K3 surfaces admitting a big finite automorphism group of order , both groups contains as a subgroup of index 2. We show moreover that these two groups and the two K3 surfaces are unique. This result was shown independently by S. Brandhorst and K. Hashimoto in a forthcoming paper, with the aim of classifying all the finite groups acting faithfully on K3 surfaces with maximal symplectic part.
