Abstract: We study K3 surfaces with a pair of commuting involutions that are non-symplectic with respect to two anti-commuting complex structures that are determined by a hyper-K"ahler metric. One motivation for this paper is the role of such mathbbZ22-actions for the construction of G2-manifolds. We find a large class of smooth K3 surfaces with such pairs of involutions, but we also pay special attention to the case that the K3 surface has ADE-singularities. Therefore, we introduce a special class of non-symplectic involutions that are suitable for explicit calculations and find 320 examples of pairs of involutions that act on K3 surfaces with a great variety of singularities.


The study of group actions on closed manifolds is an important topic in mathematics and \(K3\) surfaces play an evident role in algebraic geometry and complex geometry. There exist many deep and beautiful theorems about \(K3\) surfaces. In this paper, the author focuses on \(\mathbb Z^2_2\)-actions on \(K3\) surfaces. Specifically, he studies \(K3\) surfaces with a pair of commuting involutions that are non-symplectic with respect to two anti-commuting complex structures that are determined by a hyper-Kähler metric. He finds a large class of smooth \(K3\) surfaces with such pairs of involutions. After that, he turns attention to the case that the \(K3\) surface has ADE-singularities. Furthermore, he introduces a special class of non-symplectic involutions that are suitable for explicit calculations and he finds 320 examples of pairs of involutions that act on \(K3\) surfaces with a great variety of singularities. This is an interesting paper for the study of the group actions on projective varieties.
