Abstract

We prove that if a K3 surface $X$ admits $\Z/5\Z$ as group of symplectic automorphisms, then it actually admits $\Dh_5$ as group of symplectic automorphisms. The orthogonal complement to the $\Dh_5$-invariants in the second cohomology group of $X$ is a rank 16 lattice, $L$. It is known that $L$ does not depend on $X$: we prove that it is isometric to a lattice recently described by R. L. Griess Jr. and C. H. Lam. We also give an elementary construction of $L$.
