Automorphisms of supersingular K3 surfaces and Salem polynomials
Abstract
We present a method to generate many automorphisms of a supersingular K3 surface in odd characteristic. As an application, we show that, if p is an odd prime less than or equal to 7919, then every supersingular K3 surface in characteristic p has an automorphism whose characteristic polynomial on the N\'eron-Severi lattice is a Salem polynomial of degree 22. For a supersingular K3 surface with Artin invariant 10, the same holds for odd primes less than or equal to 17389.
