Abstract

Let SS be the (minimal) Enriques surface obtained from the symmetric quartic surface (i<jxixj)2=kx1x2x3x4(\sum_{i<j}x_ix_j)^2=kx_1x_2x_3x_4 in P3\mathbb{P}^3 with k0,4,36k\neq 0,4,36, by taking quotient of the Cremona action (xi)(1/xi)(x_i) \mapsto (1/x_i). The automorphism group of SS is a semi-direct product of a free product F\mathcal{F} of four involutions and the symmetric group S4\mathfrak{S}_4. Up to action of F\mathcal{F}, there are exactly 2929 elliptic pencils on SS.
