Some divisors in the moduli space of Debarre-Voisin varieties
Let $V_{10}$ be a 10-dimensional complex vector space and let $σ\in\bigwedge^3V_{10}^\vee$ be a non-zero alternating 3-form. One can define several associated degeneracy loci: the Debarre-Voisin hyperkähler variety $X_6^σ\subset\mathrm{Gr}(6,V_{10})$, the Peskine variety $X_1^σ\subset\mathbf{P}(V_{10})$, and the hyperplane section $X_3^σ\subset \mathrm{Gr}(3,V_{10})$. We prove that when smooth, the varieties $X_6^σ$, $X_1^σ$, and $X_3^σ$ share one common integral Hodge structure, and that $X_1^σ$ and $X_3^σ$ both satisfy the integral Hodge conjecture in all degrees. This is obtained as a consequence of a detailed analysis of the geometry of these varieties along three divisors in the moduli space. On one of the divisors, an associated K3 surface $S$ of degree 6 can be constructed geometrically and the Debarre-Voisin fourfold is shown to be isomorphic to a moduli space of twisted sheaves on $S$, in analogy with the case of cubic fourfolds containing a plane.
