Let $f$ be an automorphism of a complex Enriques surface $Y$ and let $p_f$ denote the characteristic polynomial of the isometry $f^*$ of the numerical N\'eron-Severi lattice of $Y$ induced by $f$. We apply a modification of McMullen's method to prove that the modulo-$2$ reduction $(p_f(x) \bmod 2)$ is a product of modulo-$2$ reductions of (some of) the five cyclotomic polynomials $\Phi_m$, where $m \leq 9$ and $m$ is odd. We study Enriques surfaces that realize modulo-$2$ reductions of $\Phi_7$, $\Phi_9$ and show that each of the five polynomials $(\Phi_m(x) \bmod 2)$ is a factor of the modulo-$2$ reduction $(p_f(x) \bmod 2)$ for a complex Enriques surface., Comment: Comments welcome

We present a method to generate many automorphisms of a supersingular K3 surface in odd characteristic. As an application, we show that, if p is an odd prime less than or equal to 7919, then every supersingular K3 surface in characteristic p has an automorphism whose characteristic polynomial on the N\'eron-Severi lattice is a Salem polynomial of degree 22. For a supersingular K3 surface with Artin invariant 10, the same holds for odd primes less than or equal to 17389., Comment: 15 pages, results are improved

Let X and Y be supersingular K3 surfaces defined over an algebraically closed field. Suppose that the sum of their Artin invariants is 11. Then there exists a certain duality between their N\'eron-Severi lattices. We investigate geometric consequences of this duality. As an application, we classify genus one fibrations on supersingular K3 surfaces with Artin invariant 10 in characteristic 2 and 3, and give a set of generators of the automorphism group of the nef cone of these supersingular K3 surfaces. The difference between the automorphism group of a supersingular K3 surface X and the automorphism group of its nef cone is determined by the period of X. We define the notion of genericity for supersingular K3 surfaces in terms of the period, and prove the existence of generic supersingular K3 surfaces in odd characteristics for each Artin invariant larger than 1., Comment: 23 pages. Title is shortened. Some details are omitted

We construct explicitly moduli curves of polarized supersingular K3 surfaces in characteristic 2 with Artin invariant 2. As an application, we detect a "jump" phenomenon in a family of automorphism groups of supersingular K3 surfaces with a constant N\'eron-Severi lattice., Comment: 58 pages, 1 figure

We investigate configurations of rational double points with the total Milnor number 21 on supersingular $K3$ surfaces. The complete list of possible configurations is given. As an application, we also give the complete list of extremal (quasi-)elliptic fibrations on supersingular $K3$ surfaces., 31 pages

For every supersingular $K3$ surface $X$ in characteristic 2, there exists a homogeneous polynomial $G$ of degree 6 such that $X$ is birational to the purely inseparable double cover of a projective plane defined by $w^2=G$. We present an algorithm to calculate from $G$ a set of generators of the numerical N\'eron-Severi lattice of $X$. As an application, we investigate the stratification defined by the Artin invariant on a moduli space of supersingular $K3$ surfaces of degree 2 in characteristic 2., Comment: 54 pages, 5 figures
