Abstract: We classify all primitive embeddings of the lattice of numerical equivalence classes of divisors of an Enriques surface with the intersection form multiplied by 2 into an even unimodular hyperbolic lattice of rank 26. These embeddings have a property that facilitates the computation of the automorphism group of an Enriques surface by Borcherds' method.

Review text

\textit{R. Borcherds}' method [J. Algebra 111, 133--153 (1987; Zbl 0628.20003); Int. Math. Res. Not. 1998, No. 19, 1011--1031 (1998; Zbl 0935.20027)] is a procedure to calculate the automorphism group \(\mathrm{Aut}(X)\) of a \(K3\) surface \(X\) by embedding \(S_X\) primitively into \(L_{26}\) and by applying \textit{J. H. Conway}'s result [J. Algebra 80, 159--163 (1983; Zbl 0508.20023)] on the orthogonal group \(\mathrm{O}(L_{26})\) of \(L_{26}\). Let \(Y\) be an Enriques surface in characteristic \(\not= 2\) with the universal covering \(\pi:X\rightarrow Y\) and let \(S_Y\) (resp. \(S_X\)) be the lattice of numerical equivalence classes of divisors on \(Y\) (resp. \(X\)). Then we have a primitive embedding \(\pi^*:S_Y(2)\hookrightarrow S_X\). Note that \(S_Y\) is isomorphic to \(L_{10}\).
