abstract
The elliptic modular surface of level 4 is a complex K3 surface with Picard number 20. This surface has a model over a number field such that its reduction modulo 3 yields a surface isomorphic to the Fermat quartic surface in characteristic 3, which is supersingular. The specialization induces an embedding of the N\'eron-Severi lattices. Using this embedding, we determine the automorphism group of this K3 surface over a discrete valuation ring of mixed characteristic whose residue field is of characteristic 3. The elliptic modular surface of level 4 has a fixed-point free involution that gives rise to the Enriques surface of type IV in Nikulin-Kondo-Martin's classification of Enriques surfaces with finite automorphism group. We investigate the specialization of this involution to characteristic 3.

15-nodal quartic surfaces. Part II: The automorphism group
The birational automorphism group of a general 15-nodal quartic surface is generated by 264 explicit symmetries (192 involutions and 120 infinite-order automorphisms), with defining relations determined by 19 orbits of chamber faces.
