Abstract

We prove that every element of order 2 in the Brauer group of a complex Kummer surface X descends to an Enriques quotient of X. In generic cases, this gives a bijection between the set ${\mathcal Enr}(X)$ of Enriques quotients of X up to isomorphism and the set of Brauer classes of X of order 2. For some K3 surfaces of Picard rank $20,$ we prove that the fibers of ${\mathcal Enr}(X)\to \mathrm {{Br}}(X)[2]$ above the nonzero points have the same cardinality.
