Generalized Nikulin surfaces and irreducible symplectic fourfolds

A Nikulin surface is the minimal resolution of the quotient of a $K3$ surface $S$ by a symplectic involution $ι_S$. Equivalently, it is the $2$-dimensional component of the fixed locus of the involution induced by $ι_S$ on the Hilbert scheme $S^{[2]}$. We study $K3$ surfaces $F$ that are the $2$-dimensional component of the fixed locus of a symplectic involution $ι$ on hyper-Kähler manifolds $X$ of $K3^{[2]}$-type; we call them generalized Nikulin surfaces. We show that a projective $K3$ surface is a generalized Nikulin surface if and only if its Néron-Severi lattice contains primitively the lattice $E_7(-2)$. Moreover, we show that the transcendental lattices $T_F$ and $T_{\widetilde{X/ ι}}$, where $\widetilde{X/ ι}$ is the terminalization of the quotient $X/ι$, are Hodge isometric. Finally, we describe projective models of generalized Nikulin surfaces of small degrees.

Logarithmic Enriques varieties

We introduce logarithmic Enriques varieties as a singular analogue of Enriques manifolds, generalizing the notion of log-Enriques surfaces introduced by Zhang. We focus mainly on the properties of the subfamily of log-Enriques varieties that admit a quasi-etale cover by a singular symplectic variety and we give many examples.

Irreducible symplectic varieties via relative Prym varieties

Generalizing work of Markushevich--Tikhomirov and Arbarello--Saccà--Ferretti, we use relative Prym varieties to construct Lagrangian fibered symplectic varieties in infinitely many dimensions. We then give criteria for when the construction yields primitive symplectic varieties, respectively, irreducible symplectic varieties. The starting point of the construction is a K3 surface endowed with an anti-symplectic involution and an effective linear system on the quotient surface. We give sufficient conditions on the linear system to ensure that the relative Prym varieties satisfy the criteria above. As a consequence, we produce infinite series of irreducible symplectic varieties.

Projective models of Nikulin orbifolds

We study projective fourfolds of $K3^{[2]}$-type with a symplectic involution and the deformations of their quotients, called orbifolds of Nikulin types; they are IHS orbifolds. We compute the Riemann--Roch formula for Weil divisors on such orbifolds and describe the first complete family of orbifolds of Nikulin type with a polarization of degree $2$ as double covers of special complete intersections $(3,4)$ in $\mathbb{P}^6$.

On the Chow ring of certain Lehn-Lehn-Sorger-van Straten eightfolds

We consider a $10$-dimensional family of Lehn-Lehn-Sorger-van Straten hyperkähler eightfolds which have a non-symplectic automorphism of order $3$. Using the theory of finite-dimensional motives, we show that the action of this automorphism on the Chow group of $0$-cycles is as predicted by the Bloch-Beilinson conjectures. We prove a similar statement for the anti-symplectic involution on varieties in this family. This has interesting consequences for the intersection product in the Chow ring of these varieties.

On certain isogenies between K3 surfaces

The aim of this paper is to construct "special" isogenies between K3 surfaces, which are not Galois covers between K3 surfaces, but are obtained by composing cyclic Galois covers, induced by quotients by symplectic automorphisms. We determine the families of K3 surfaces for which this construction is possible. To this purpose we will prove that there are infinitely many big families of K3 surfaces which both admit a finite symplectic automorphism and are (desingularizations of) quotients of other K3 surfaces by a symplectic automorphism. In the case of involutions, for any $n\in\mathbb{N}_{>0}$ we determine the transcendental lattices of the K3 surfaces which are $2^n:1$ isogenous (by a non Galois cover) to other K3 surfaces. We also study the Galois closure of the $2^2:1$ isogenies and we describe the explicit geometry on an example.

Non-symplectic involutions on manifolds of $K3^{[n]}$-type

We study irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifolds deformation equivalent to Hilbert schemes of points on a $K3$ surface and admitting a non-symplectic involution. We classify the possible discriminant forms of the invariant and anti-invariant lattice for the action of the involution on cohomology, and explicitly describe the lattices in the cases where the invariant has small rank. We also give a modular description of all $d$-dimensional families of manifolds of $K3^{[n]}$-type with a non-symplectic involution for $d\geq 19$ and $n\leq 5$, and provide examples arising as moduli spaces of twisted sheaves on a $K3$ surface.

Non-symplectic automorphisms of odd prime order on manifolds of $K3^{[n]}$-type

We classify non-symplectic automorphisms of odd prime order on irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifolds which are deformations of Hilbert schemes of any number n of points on K3 surfaces, extending results already known for n=2. In order to do so, we study the properties of the invariant lattice of the automorphism (and its orthogonal complement) inside the second cohomology lattice of the manifold. We also explain how to construct automorphisms with fixed action on cohomology: in the cases n=3,4 the examples provided allow to realize all admissible actions in our classification. For n=4, we present a construction of non-symplectic automorphisms on the Lehn-Lehn-Sorger-van Straten eightfold, which come from automorphisms of the underlying cubic fourfold.

Cubic threefolds and hyperkähler manifolds uniformized by the 10-dimensional complex ball

We first prove an isomorphism between the moduli space of smooth cubic threefolds and the moduli space of hyperkaehler fourfolds of K3^{[2]}-type with a non-symplectic automorphism of order three, whose invariant lattice has rank one and is generated by a class of square 6, both these spaces are uniformized by the same 10-dimensional arithmetic complex ball quotient. We then study the degeneration of the automorphism along the loci of nodal or chordal degenerations of the cubic threefold, showing the birationality of these loci with some moduli spaces of hyperkaehler fourfolds of K3^{[2]}-type with non-symplectic automorphism of order three belonging to different families. Finally, we construct a cyclic Pfaffian cubic fourfold to give an explicit construction of a non-natural automorphism of order three on the Hilbert square of a K3 surface.

Verra fourfolds, twisted sheaves and the last involution

We study the geometry of some moduli spaces of twisted sheaves on K3 surfaces. In particular we introduce induced automorphisms from a K3 surface on moduli spaces of twisted sheaves on this K3 surface. As an application we prove the unirationality of moduli spaces of irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifolds of $K3^{[2]}$-type admitting non symplectic involutions with invariant lattices $U(2)\oplus D_4(-1)$ or $U(2)\oplus E_8(-2)$. This complements the results obtained in [Mongardi and Wandel 2015], [Bossiere et al 2016], and the results from [arXiv:1603.00403] about the geometry of IHS fourfolds constructed using the Hilbert scheme of $(1,1)$ conics on Verra fourfolds. As a byproduct we find that IHS fourfolds of $K3^{[2]}$-type with Picard lattice $U(2)\oplus E_8(-2)$ naturally contain non-nodal Enriques surfaces.

Calabi--Yau quotients of hyperkähler four-folds

The aim of this paper is to construct Calabi-Yau 4-folds as crepant resolutions of the quotients of a hyperkähler 4-fold $X$ by a non symplectic involution $α$. We first compute the Hodge numbers of a Calabi-Yau constructed in this way in a general setting and then we apply the results to several specific examples of non symplectic involutions, producing Calabi-Yau 4-folds with different Hodge diamonds. Then we restrict ourselves to the case where $X$ is the Hilbert scheme of two points on a K3 surface $S$ and the involution $α$ is induced by a non symplectic involution on the K3 surface. In this case we compare the Calabi-Yau 4-fold $Y_S$, which is the crepant resolution of $X/α$, with the Calabi-Yau 4-fold $Z_S$, constructed from $S$ through the Borcea--Voisin construction. We give several explicit geometrical examples of both these Calabi--Yau 4-folds describing maps related to interesting linear systems as well as a rational $2:1$ map from $Z_S$ to $Y_S$.

Complex ball quotients from manifolds of $K3^{[n]}$-type

We describe periods of irreducible holomorphic manifolds of $K3^{[n]}$-type with a non-symplectic automorphism of prime order $p\geq 3$. These turn out to lie on complex ball quotients and we are able to give a precise characterization of when the period map is bijective, by introducing the notion of $K(T)$-generality.

Some remarks on moduli spaces of lattice polarized holomorphic symplectic manifolds

We construct quasi-projective moduli spaces of $K$-general lattice polarized irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifolds. Moreover, we study their Baily--Borel compactification and investigate a relation between one-dimensional boundary components and equivalence classes of rational Lagrangian fibrations defined on mirror manifolds.

Isometries of ideal lattices and hyperkähler manifolds

We prove that there exists a holomorphic symplectic manifold deformation equivalent to the Hilbert scheme of two points on a K3 surface that admits a non-symplectic automorphism of order 23, that is the maximal possible prime order in this deformation family. The proof uses the theory of ideal lattices in cyclomotic fields.

Classification of automorphisms on a deformation family of hyperkähler fourfolds by p-elementary lattices

We give a classification of all non-symplectic automorphisms of prime order p acting on irreducible holomorphic symplectic fourfolds deformation equivalent to the Hilbert scheme of two points on a K3 surface, for p=2,3 and 7\leq p \leq 19. Our classification relates the isometry classes of two natural lattices associated to the action of the automorphism on the second cohomology group with integer coefficients with some invariants of the fixed locus and we provide explicit examples. As an application, we find new examples of non-natural non-symplectic automorphisms.

Lattice polarized irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifolds

We generalize Nikulin's and Dolgachev's lattice-theoretical mirror symmetry for K3 surfaces to lattice polarized higher dimensional irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifolds. In the case of fourfolds of $K3^{\left[2\right]}-$type we then describe mirror families of polarized fourfolds and we give an example with mirror non-symplectic involutions.

Symplectic involutions of holomorphic symplectic fourfolds

Let X be a holomorphic symplectic fourfold such that b_2=23 and i a symplectic involution of X . The fixed locus F of i is a smooth symplectic submanifold of X; we show that F contains at least 12 isolated points and 1 smooth surface. We conjecture that F is made of 28 isolated fixed points and 1 K3 surface and we provide evidences for the conjecture in some examples, as the Hilbert scheme of a K3 surface, the Fano variety of a cubic in P^5 and the double cover of an EPW sextic.

About the stability of the tangent bundle of P^n restricted to a surface

Let X be a smooth projective surface over C and let L be a line bundle on X generated by its global sections. Let f:X-->P^r be the morphism associated to L and let T be the tangent bundle of P^r; we investigate the μ-stability of f*T with respect to L when X is either a regular surface with p_g=0, a K3 surface or an abelian surface. In particular, we show that it is μ-stable when X is K3 and L is ample and when X is abelian and L^2>13.
