It was shown by Mukai that the maximum order of a finite group acting faithfully and symplectically on a K3 surface is 960 and if such a group has order 960, then it is isomorphic to the Mathieu group $M_{20}$. In this paper, we are…

We consider algebraic actions of a cyclic group of order p on a K3 surface defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. We classify possible loci of fixed points as well as possible quotient surfaces.

Let Y be a complex Enriques surface whose universal cover X is birational to a general quartic Hessian surface. Using the result on the automorphism group of X due to Dolgachev and Keum, we obtain a finite presentation of the automorphism…

Kummer surfaces are special quartic surfaces that admit $16$ nodes. The automorphisms of K3 Kummer surfaces are rich and complicated. Based on the results of Keum and Kond\=o, and as a continuation of the recent result by He and Yang, we…

We consider translation surfaces with poles on surfaces. We shall prove that any finite group appears as the automorphism group of some translation surface with poles. As a direct consequence we obtain the existence of structures achieving…

In this note, we treat a pair of a K3 surface and a non-symplectic automorphism of order 7m (m=1, 3 and 6) on it. We show that if the fixed locus of a non-symplectic automorphism order 7 is "special" then the pair is unique up to…

We generalize Nikulin's and Dolgachev's lattice-theoretical mirror symmetry for K3 surfaces to lattice polarized higher dimensional irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifolds. In the case of fourfolds of $K3^{\left[2\right]}-$type we then…

An Ap\'ery-Fermi K3 surface is a complex K3 surface of Picard number 19 that is birational to a general member of a certain one-dimensional family of affine surfaces related to the Fermi surface in solid-state physics. This K3 surface is…

This is a survey on the automorphism groups in various classes of affine algebraic surfaces and the algebraic group actions on such surfaces. Being infinite-dimensional, these automorphism groups share some important features of algebraic…

We describe Baily-Borel, toroidal, and geometric -- using the KSBA stable pairs -- compactifications of some moduli spaces of K3 surfaces with a nonsymplectic automorphism of order $3$ and $4$ for which the fixed locus of the automorphism…

In any characteristic different from 2 and 5, Kond\=o gave an example of a K3 surface with a purely non-symplectic automorphism of order 50. The surface was explicitly given as a double plane branched along a smooth sextic curve. In this…

Let $S$ be a regular minimal surface of general type over the field of complex numbers, and $\mathrm{Aut}_\mathbb{Q}(S)$ the subgroup of automorphisms acting trivially on $H^*(S,\mathbb{Q})$. It has been known since twenty years that…

The Shafarevich conjecture for K3 surfaces asserts the finiteness of isomorphism classes of K3 surfaces over a fixed number field admitting good reduction away from a fixed finite set of finite places. Andr\'{e} proved this conjecture for…

The aim of this paper is to construct "special" isogenies between K3 surfaces, which are not Galois covers between K3 surfaces, but are obtained by composing cyclic Galois covers, induced by quotients by symplectic automorphisms. We…

This article describes an example of a real projective K3 surface admitting a real automorphism $f$ satisfying $h_{top}(f, X(\mathbb{C})) < 2 h_{top}(f, X(\mathbb{R}))$. The example presented is a $(2,2,2)$-surface in $\mathbb{P}^1 \times…

In this note we prove that, for any integer n, there exist a smooth 4-manifold, homotopic to a K3 surface, defined by applying the link surgery method of Fintushel-Stern to a certain 2-component graph link, which admits n inequivalent…

If an automorphism of a projective K3 surface with Picard number 2 is of infinite order, then the automorphism corresponds to a solution of Pell equation. In this paper, by solving this equation, we determine all Salem polynomials of…

We study in detail mirror symmetry for the quartic K3 surface in P3 and the mirror family obtained by the orbifold construction. As explained by Aspinwall and Morrison, mirror symmetry for K3 surfaces can be entirely described in terms of…

We determine the automorphism group of the Hilbert scheme of two points on a generic projective K3 surface of any polarization. We obtain in particular new examples of Hilbert schemes of points having non-natural non-symplectic…

A study of symplectic actions of a finite group $G$ on smooth 4-manifolds is initiated. The central new idea is the use of $G$-equivariant Seiberg-Witten-Taubes theory in studying the structure of the fixed-point set of these symmetries.…
