Aim of the lecture is to give an introduction to $K3$ surfaces, that are special algebraic surfaces with an extremely rich geometry. The most easy example of such a surface is the Fermat quartic in complex three-dimensional space.
The name $K3$ was given by André Weil in 1958 in honour of the three remarkable mathematicians: Kummer, Kähler and Kodaira and of the beautiful K2 mountain at Cachemire.
The topics of the lecture are the following:

* $K3$ surfaces in the Enriques-Kodaira classification.
* Examples; Kummer surfaces.
* Basic properties of $K3$ surfaces; Torelli theorem and surjectivity of the period map.
* The study of automorphisms on $K3$ surfaces: basic facts, examples.
* Symplectic automorphisms of $K3$ surfaces, classification, moduli spaces.[-]
