A hyperbolic lattice is said to be 2-reflective if its automorphism group contains a subgroup of finite index generated by 2-reflections. We determine all 2reflective hyperbolic lattices of rank 4. (For all other values of the rank, this was done by V. V. Nikulin.) In this paper we classify 2-reflective hyperbolic lattices of rank 4 (for definitions, see below). The author obtained this classification in 1981. While it was mentioned in [7], the proofs were only published as a preprint [14] in 1998. The classification of 2-reflective hyperbolic lattices is a pivotal part of the classification of algebraic K3-surfaces with finite automorphism groups [5, 6]. A quadratic lattice is a free abelian group endowed with a non-degenerate integral symmetric bilinear form, called the scalar product. It is said to be Euclidean if the scalar product is positive definite and hyperbolic if it has signature (n, 1). A quadratic lattice L can be viewed as a lattice in a (pseudo-)Euclidean vector space V = L ⊗ R. The automorphism group O(L) of L then becomes a lattice (i.e., a discrete subgroup of finite co-volume) in the (pseudo-)orthogonal group O(V ). In the hyperbolic case, one of the two connected components of the hyperboloid (0.1) (x, x) = −1 can be viewed as a model of n-dimensional Lobachevsky space L such that the group of motions of L is the subgroup O′(V ) of index 2 in O(V ) consisting of transformations preserving each connected component of the hyperboloid (0.1). In this model, the planes of L are non-empty intersections of the hyperboloid L with subspaces of V. The points at infinity in L correspond to the isotropic one-dimensional subspaces of V. The group O′(L) = O(L) ∩ O′(V ) is a discrete group of motions of L with finite co-volume. A primitive vector e of the quadratic lattice L is called a root or, more precisely, a k-root if (e, e) = k > 0 and (0.2) 2(e, x) ∈ kZ ∀x ∈ L. Any root e gives rise to an orthogonal reflection Re : x → x − 2(e, x) (e, e) e, which preserves L, i.e., belongs to O(L). In the hyperbolic case, Re gives rise to a reflection in the hyperplane He = {x ∈ L : (e, x) = 0} 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. Primary 11H06. c ©2007 American Mathematical Society
