Abstract
AbstractIn characteristic $0$ , symplectic automorphisms of K3 surfaces (i.e., automorphisms preserving the global $2$ -form) and non-symplectic ones behave differently. In this paper, we consider the actions of the group schemes $\mu _{n}$ on K3 surfaces (possibly with rational double point [RDP] singularities) in characteristic p, where n may be divisible by p. We introduce the notion of symplecticness of such actions, and we show that symplectic $\mu _{n}$ -actions have similar properties, such as possible orders, fixed loci, and quotients, to symplectic automorphisms of order n in characteristic $0$ . We also study local $\mu _n$ -actions on RDPs.
