Abstract: We shall determine the uniquely existing extension of the alternating group of degree 6 (being normal in the group) by a cyclic group of order 4, which can act on a complex K3 surface.

Review text

As usual, let \(A_6\) be the alternating group on 6 elements and let \(\mu_4\) be the group of \(4\)-th roots of 1. In a previous paper [Proc. Lond. Math. Soc., III. Ser. 90, No. 2, 371--394 (2005; Zbl 1071.11042)] the authors have shown that there exists a unique \(K3\) surface \(X\) such that the group \(\text{ Aut(X)}\) contains a subgroup \(G\) that fits in an exact sequence of the form: \[ 1\to A_6\to G\to\mu_4\to1. \] The surface \(X\) is a hypersurface in \(\mathbb{P}^1\times\mathbb{P}^2\) whose explicit equation is given in [loc. cit.]. However there is no explicit description of the group action. Here the authors determine the abstract structure of the group \(G\), by combining group theoretic arguments and the study of the Picard lattice of a \(K3\) surface.
