Abstract

This article extends Bayer-Fluckiger's theorem on characteristic polynomials of isometries on an even unimodular lattice to the case where the isometries have determinant −1. As an application, we show that the logarithm of every Salem number of degree 20 is realized as the topological entropy of an automorphism of a nonprojective K3 surface.
