This result has applications applications to automorphisms of K3 surfaces; in particular, we show that every Salem number of degree 4, 6, 8,1 2, 14 or 16 is the dynamical degree of an automorphism of a non-projective K3 surface.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-07-15T19:43:01.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "automorphism", "characteristic polynomial", "semi-simple isometry", "unimodular lattice", "integral polynomial" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
