K3 surfaces with Picard number 2, Salem polynomials and Pell equation

Abstract

If an automorphism of a projective K3 surface with Picard number 2 is of infinite order, then the automorphism corresponds to a solution of Pell equation. In this paper, by solving this equation, we determine all Salem polynomials of symplectic and anti-symplectic automorphisms of projective K3 surfaces with Picard number 2.
