Abstract:

We find formulas for the birational maps from a Kummer surface $\mathcal {K}$ and its dual $\mathcal {K}^*$ to their common minimal desingularization $\mathcal {S}$. We show how the nodes of $\mathcal {K}$ and $\mathcal {K}^*$ blow up. Then we give a description of the group of linear automorphisms of $\mathcal {S}$.
