Invariant Grassmannians and a K3 surface with an action of order 192*2
Abstract
Given a complex vector space V of finite dimension, its Grassmannian variety parametrizes all subspaces of V of a given dimension. Similarly, if a finite group G acts on V, its invariant Grassmannian parametrizes all the G-invariant subspaces of V of a given dimension. Based on this fact, we develop an algorithm for computing G-invariant projective varieties arising as an intersection of hypersurfaces of the same degree. We apply the algorithm to find a projective model of a polarized K3 surface with a faithful action of T192 μ2 and some further symmetric K3 surfaces with a degree 8 polarization.
