Abstract: We consider $\mu _p$- and $\alpha _p$-actions on RDP K3 surfaces (K3 surfaces with rational double point (RDP) singularities allowed) in characteristic $p > 0$. We study possible characteristics, quotient surfaces, and quotient singularities. It turns out that these properties of $\mu _p$- and $\alpha _p$-actions are analogous to those of $\mathbb {Z}/l\mathbb {Z}$-actions (for primes $l \neq p$) and $\mathbb {Z}/p\mathbb {Z}$-quotients respectively. We also show that conversely an RDP K3 surface with a certain configuration of singularities admits a $\mu _p$- or $\alpha _p$- or $\mathbb {Z}/p\mathbb {Z}$-covering by a “K3-like” surface, which is often an RDP K3 surface but not always, as in the case of the canonical coverings of Enriques surfaces in characteristic $2$.
