Automorphisms and canonical forms of integer lattices

Simon Brandhorst, Tommy Hofmann

We improve the Plesken--Souvignier algorithm for computing automorphism groups and isometries of positive definite integer quadratic lattices by exploiting characteristic sublattic…

The Cone Conjecture for Enriques Surfaces in any Characteristic

Simon Brandhorst, Gebhard Martin, Tobias Schnieders

We give a proof of the Morrison-Kawamata cone conjecture for Enriques surfaces independent of their characteristic. It is based on the analysis of certain generically finite morphi…

On hyperbolic lattices whose reduced automorphism group is virtually abelian

Simon Brandhorst, Markus Kirschmer, Giacomo Mezzedimi

We give a classification of even integral lattices with virtually abelian reduced automorphism group. As a consequence, we complete the classification of K3 surfaces with virtually…

Orbits of smooth rational curves on Enriques surfaces

Simon Brandhorst, Víctor González-Alonso

We give a closed formula for the number of orbits of smooth rational curves under the automorphism group of an Enriques surface in terms of its Nikulin root invariant and its Vinbe…

An explicit Enriques surface with an automorphism of minimum entropy

Simon Brandhorst, Matthias Zach

We derive explicit equations for the Oguiso-Yu automorphism of minimum topological entropy on a complex Enriques surface. The approach is computer aided and makes use of elliptic f…

Automorphisms of Nikulin-type orbifolds

Simon Brandhorst, Grégoire Menet, Stevell Muller

Nikulin-type orbifolds are certain singular 4-dimensional irreducible holomorphic symplectic varieties. We show that the monodromy group of Nikulin-type orbifolds is maximal and cl…

527 elliptic fibrations on Enriques surfaces

Simon Brandhorst, Víctor González-Alonso

Barth and Peters showed that a general complex Enriques surface has exactly 527 isomorphism classes of elliptic fibrations. We show that every Enriques surface has precisely 527 is…

Elliptic Fibrations on Vinberg's Most Algebraic K3 Surface

Simon Brandhorst, Matthias Zach

We explain how to use the computer algebra system OSCAR to find all elliptic fibrations (up to automorphism) on a given surface and compute their Weierstrass models. This is illust…

Hensel lifting algorithms for quadratic forms

Simon Brandhorst, Davide Cesare Veniani

We provide an algorithm to compute generators of the orthogonal group of the discriminant group associated to an integral quadratic lattice over the integers. We give a closed form…

Borcherds lattices and K3 surfaces of zero entropy

Simon Brandhorst, Giacomo Mezzedimi

Let be an even, hyperbolic lattice with infinitely many simple -roots. We call a Borcherds lattice if it admits an isotropic vector with bounded inner product with al…

Finite subgroups of automorphisms of K3 surfaces

Simon Brandhorst, Tommy Hofmann

We give a complete classification of finite subgroups of automorphisms of K3 surfaces up to deformation. The classification is in terms of Hodge theoretic data associated to certai…

Generation of Local Unitary Groups

Simon Brandhorst, Tommy Hofmann, Sven Manthe

Let be a two-dimensional étale algebra over a non-Archimedean local field of characteristic zero. We show that the unitary group of a non-degenerate hermitian lattice over…

Equations for a K3 Lehmer map

Simon Brandhorst, Noam D. Elkies

McMullen proved that there exists an automorphism of minimal topological entropy on a projective K3 surface. We derive equations for the surface and its automorphism. We reconstruc…

Automorphism groups of certain Enriques surfaces

Simon Brandhorst, Ichiro Shimada

We calculate the automorphism group of certain Enriques surfaces. The Enriques surfaces that we investigate include very general -nodal Enriques surfaces and very general cuspid…

Idoneal genera and K3 surfaces covering an Enriques surface

Simon Brandhorst, Serkan Sonel, Davide Cesare Veniani

Idoneal genera are a generalization of Euler's idoneal numbers. We enumerate all idoneal genera by means of the Smith--Minkowski--Siegel mass formula. As an application, we classif…

Prime order isometries of unimodular lattices and automorphisms of ihs manifolds

Simon Brandhorst, Alberto Cattaneo

We characterize conjugacy classes of isometries of odd prime order in unimodular Z-lattices. This is applied to give a complete classification of odd prime order non-symplectic aut…

An automorphism of order of a K3 surface is called purely non-symplectic if it multiplies the holomorphic symplectic form by a primitive -th root of unity. We give the class…
