Abstract

In 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.
