Symplectic automorphisms on Kummer surfaces (Q964206)

This paper studies symplectic automorphisms of Kummer surfaces. Recall that an automorphism \(\sigma\) of finite order of a \(K3\) surface \(X\) is called symplectic if the desingularization of the quotient \(X/\sigma\) is still \(K3\). Finite abelian groups of symplectic automorphisms of \(K3\) were classified by \textit{V.V. Nikulin} [Trans. Mosc. Math. Soc. 2, 71--135 (1980; Zbl 0454.14017)]. Unfortunately that paper has a small mistake, and this paper studies precisely how Nikulin's result needs to be adjusted, providing some examples not covered by Nikulin where the \(K3\) surface is Kummer and the group of symplectic automorphisms is not cyclic.
