E.g., a positive integer $N$ is the order of an automorphism of a complex K3 surface if and only if $\\phi(N)\\le 20$ where $\\phi$ is the Euler function. In particular, 66 is the maximum finite order in each characteristic $p\\neq 2,3$. As a consequence, we give a bound for the orders of finite groups acting on K3 surfaces in characteristic $p>7$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v9", "updated": "2013-09-22T15:32:21.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14J28", "14J50" ], "keywords": [ "complex k3 surface", "automorphism", "characteristic", "maximum finite order", "euler function" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 43, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1203.5616K" } } }
