Some examples of \(K3\) surfaces with infinite automorphism group which preserves an elliptic pencil (Q2210411)

In the paper under review, the author studies \(K3\) surfaces \(X\) which have infinite automorphism groups \(\mathrm{Aut}(X)\) and preserve some elliptic pencil. More preciesely, he focused on the setting when \(X\) is a complex projective \(K3\) surface and \(S = S_{X}\) is a \(2\)-elementary Picard lattice with the invariants \((r,a,\delta)\). Let us recall that the lattice \(S\) is \(2\)-elementary if for \(S^{*} =\mathrm{Hom}(S,\mathbb{Z})\) the discriminant group \(A_{S} = S^{*}/S\) is \(2\)-elementary, i.e., \(A_{S} \simeq (\mathbb{Z} / 2\mathbb{Z})^{a}\) for some integer \(a\geq 0\). Moreover, \(r:= \mathrm{rk} \, S\) and \(\delta \in \{0,1\}\), namely \(\delta = 0\) if \((x^{*})^{2} \in \mathbb{Z}\) for any \(x \in S^{*}\), otherwise \(\delta = 1\). It is worth noticing that the triple \((r,a,\delta)\) defines the isomorphism class of a \(2\)-elementary Picard lattice \(S\). One of the main classification results obtained by the author can be formulated as follows. Theorem A. The automorphism group \(\mathrm{Aut}(X)\) of a \(K3\) surface over the complex numbers with the \(2\)-elementary Picard lattice \(S\) with invariants \(r,a=20-r, \delta = 1)\), where \(r=12,\dots, 17\), and \((r=18, a=2, \delta =0)\) is equal to the automorphism group of the elliptic fibration \(|c|\) of \(X\), where \(c\) is given explicitly therein as \((11)\). Then \(\mathrm{Aut}(X)\) is isomorphic to \(\mathbb{Z}^{a-1}\) up to finite index. Other results are devoted to the cases when \((r,a,\delta) = (18,2,1)\) and \((r,a,\delta) = (14,6,0)\).
