Dynamics on projective K3 surfaces: Herman rings
Abstract
We construct an automorphism of a smooth projective K3 surface with positive topological entropy and a non-empty Fatou set. The Fatou set contains invariant domains biholomorphic to products of two annuli. On each domain, the automorphism is holomorphically conjugate to a fixed-point-free irrational rotation. These domains are two-dimensional analogues of Herman rings. The construction answers a question posed by McMullen in 2002 and several questions posed by Cantat in his 2018 ICM address.
