K3 surfaces with non-symplectic automorphisms of 2-power order

Algebraic Geometry 2009-07-13 v3 Number Theory

Abstract

This paper concerns complex algebraic K3 surfaces with an automorphism which acts trivially on the Neron-Severi group. Complementing a result by Vorontsov and Kondo, we determine those K3 surfaces where the order of the automorphism is a 2-power and equals the rank of the transcendental lattice. We also study the arithmetic of these K3 surfaces and comment on mirror symmetry
