Wild automorphisms of varieties with Kodaira dimension \(0\). (English) Zbl 1205.14053

Summary: An automorphism \(\sigma \) of a projective variety \(X\) is said to be wild if \(\sigma (Y) \neq Y\) for every non-empty subvariety \(Y \subsetneq X\). Z. Reichstein, D. Rogalski and J.J. Zhang [Adv. Math. 203, No. 2, 365–407 (2006; Zbl 1120.16040)] conjectured that if \(X\) is an irreducible projective variety admitting a wild automorphism then \(X\) is an abelian variety, and proved this conjecture for \(dim(X) \leq 2\). As a step toward answering this conjecture in higher dimensions we prove a structure theorem for projective varieties of Kodaira dimension 0 admitting wild automorphisms. This essentially reduces the Kodaira dimension \(0\) case to a study of Calabi-Yau varieties, which we also investigate. In support of this conjecture, we show that there are no wild automorphisms of certain Calabi-Yau varieties.
