Symplectic Automorphisms on Kummer Surfaces

Algebraic Geometry 2008-02-05 v1

Abstract

Nikulin proved that the isometries induced on the second cohomology group of a K3 surface XX by a finite abelian group GG of symplectic automorphisms are essentially unique. Moreover he computed the discriminant of the sublattice of H2(X,Z)H^2(X, \Z) which is fixed by the isometries induced by GG. However for certain groups these discriminants are not the same of those found for explicit examples. Here we describe Kummer surfaces for which this phenomena happens and we explain the difference.
