K3 surfaces with Picard number two (2202.04244v2)

Abstract: It is known that an automorphism group of a K3 surface with Picard number two is either infinite cyclic group or infinite dihedral group if it is infinite. In this paper, we study the generators of an automorphism group. We use the eigenvector corresponding to the spectral radius of an automorphism of infinite order to determine the generators. We also determine whether an automorphism group is the infinite cyclic group or the infinite dihedral group with several examples.
