                play the role of elliptic curves in the realm of
                algebraic surfaces. They are sophisticated enough to
                produce interesting and meaningful results that may hint
                possible generalizations, yet simple enough to make
                their study feasible. One remarkable feature of
                $K3$-surfaces is that, among all complete intersections
                of dimension at least two, they are the only ones whose
                group of projective automorphisms may (and typically is)
                much smaller than their group of birational
                automorphisms.<br>
                <br>
                I will discuss a particular example of sextic
                $K3$-surfaces and a particular construction of
                non-projective automorphisms, related to lines. In
                particular, it will be shown that, whenever a sextic has
                at least two lines, its group of birational
                automorphisms is infinite.<br>
                <br>
                This is a joint work with Igor Dolgachev, Shigeyuki
                Kondo, and Slawomir Rams.<br>
