Moreover, we show that the Fourier-Mukai partners of an ordinary K3 surface are in one-to-one correspondence with the Fourier-Mukai partners of the geometric generic fiber of its canonical lift. We also prove that the explicit counting formula for Fourier-Mukai partners of the K3 surfaces with Picard rank two and with discriminant equal to minus of a prime number, in terms of the class number of the prime, holds over a field of positive characteristic as well. We show that the image of the derived autoequivalence group of a K3 surface of finite height in the group of isometries of its crystalline cohomology has index at least two. Moreover, we provide an upper bound on the kernel of this natural cohomological descent map. Further, we give an extended remark in the appendix on the possibility of an F- crystal structure on the crystalline cohomology of a K3 surface over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic and show that the naive F-crystal structure fails in being compatible with inner product. 1 Zussamengfassung F¨ureine gew¨ohnliche K3-Fl¨ache ¨uber einem algebraisch abgeschlossenen K¨orper positiver Charakteristik zeigen wir, dass jeder Automorphismus einer gew¨ohnlichen K3-Fl¨ache zu Charakteristik Null liftet. Dar¨uber hinaus zeigen wir, dass die Fourier- Mukai-Partner einer gew¨ohnlichen K3-Fl¨ache in einer eins-zu-eins Korrespondenz mit den Fourier-Mukai-Partnern der geometrischen generischen Faser ihres kanonis- chen lift sind. Wir beweisen auch, dass die explizite Z¨ahlformelf¨urFourier-Mukai- Partner der K3-Fl¨achen mit Picard-Rang zwei und mit Diskriminante gleich mi- nus einer Primzahl, bezogen auf die Klassenzahl der Primzahl, ¨uber einem K¨orper positiver Charakteristik g¨ultig ist. Allgemeiner zeigen wir, dass das Bild der deriv- ierten auto¨aquivalenzgruppe einer K3-Fl¨ache, mit endlicher H¨ohe,in der Gruppe der Isometrien auf ihrer kristallinen Kohomologie mindestens von Index zwei ist. Außerdem geben wir eine Obergrenze f¨urden Kern der nat¨urlichen Abbildung von der derivierten Auto¨aquivalenzgruppe einer K3-Fl¨ache zu der Gruppe der Isome- trien der kristallinen Kohomologie. Des Weiteren machen wir im Anhang eine ausf¨uhrliche Bemerkung ber die M¨oglichkeit einer F-Kristallstruktur auf der kristallinen Kohomologie einer K3- Fl¨ache ber einem algebraisch abgeschlossenen K¨orper positiver Charackeristik und zeigen, dass die naive F-Kristallstruktur nicht mit dem Innenprodukt kompatibel ist. 3 Acknowledgement I owe a special gratitude to my supervisor Prof. Dr. H´el`eneEsnault, for her guidance and support.

In case the smooth projective variety has an ample canonical or anti-canonical bundle, Bondal- Orlov [13] proved that, if two such varieties have equivalent bounded derived cat- egories of coherent sheaves, then they are isomorphic. However, in general this is not true. The bounded derived category of coherent sheaves is not an isomor- phism invariant. Mukai [54] showed that for an Abelian variety over C, its dual has equivalent bounded derived category. Moreover, in many cases it can be shown that the dual of an Abelian variety is not birational to it, which implies that derived categories are not even birational invariants, see [31] Chapter 9. Similarly, Mukai showed in [55] that for K3 surfaces over C, there are non-isomorphic K3 surfaces with equivalent derived categories. This led to the natural question of classifying all derived equivalent varieties. For K3 surfaces, the case of interest to us, this was completed over C in late 1990's by Mukai and Orlov (see Theorem 3.8) using Hodge theory along with the Global Torelli Theorem (see Theorem 2.5). As a consequence, it was shown that there are only finitely many non-isomorphic K3 surfaces with equivalent bounded derived categories (see Proposition 3.10) and a counting formula was also proved (see Theorem 3.12). On the other hand, for K3 surfaces over a field of positive characteristic, a partial answer to the classification question was first given by Lieblich-Olsson [46] (see Theorem 3.20) in early 2010's. They showed that there are only finitely many non-isomorphic K3 surfaces with equivalent bounded derived categories. We remark here that due to unavailability of a positive characteristic version of the global Torelli Theorem for K3 surfaces of finite height, it is currently not feasible to give a complete cohomological description of derived equivalent K3 surfaces. However, a description in terms of moduli spaces was given by Lieblich- Olsson. We also point out here that the proofs of these results go via lifting to characteristic zero and thus use the Hodge theoretic description given by Mukai and Orlov. Furthermore, Lieblich-Olsson [47] also proved the derived version of the Torelli theorem (see Theorem 3.23) using the Crystalline Torelli theorem for supersingular K3 surfaces (see Theorem 2.13). Meanwhile in 1990's another school of thought inspired by string theory in physics led Kontsevich [42] to propose the homological mirror symmetry conjec- ture which states that the bounded derived category Db(X) of coherent sheaves of a projective variety X is equivalent (as a triangulated category) to the bounded derived category DbF uk(X;ˇ β) of the Fukaya category F uk(X;ˇ β) of a mirror Xˇ with its symplectic structure β. Moreover, the symplectic automorphisms of Xˇ induce derived autoequivalences of Db(X). This provided a natural motivation for the study of the derived autoequivalence group. 7 8 1. INTRODUCTION For K3 surfaces X over C, the structure of the group of derived autoequivalences was analyzed by Ploog in [65], Hosono et al. in [29] and Huybrechts, et al. in [33]. They showed that the image of Aut(Db(X)) under the homomorphism b Aut(D (X)) ! OHodge(H^(X; Z)); where OHodge(H^(X; Z)) is the group of Hodge isometries of the Mukai lattice of X, has index 2. However, the kernel of this map has a description only in the special case when the Picard rank of X is 1, given by [6] (also see Section 2). In this thesis, we study the above two questions in more details for the case of K3 surfaces over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic. We collect most of the preliminary material about K3 surfaces in Chapter 2 and about derived equivalences in Chapter 3. In Chapter 4, we address the question on the group of derived autoequivalences for K3 surfaces of finite height. We show that the image of the derived autoequivalence group of a K3 surface of finite height in the group of isometries of its crystalline cohomology has index at least two (Theorem 4.29).
