Numerically trivial automorphisms of Enriques surfaces in characteristic $2$
Abstract
An automorphism of an algebraic surface is called cohomologically (numerically) trivial if it acts identically on the second -adic cohomology group (this group modulo torsion subgroup). Extending the results of S. Mukai and Y. Namikawa to arbitrary characteristic , we prove that the group of cohomologically trivial automorphisms of an Enriques surface is of order if is not supersingular. If and is supersingular, we show that is a cyclic group of odd order or the quaternion group of order and we describe explicitly all the exceptional cases. If , we also prove that the group of numerically trivial automorphisms is a subgroup of a cyclic group of order unless , where is a subgroup of a -elementary group of rank .
