A symplectic fourfold

Algebraic Geometry 2026-04-09 v1

Abstract

We present a method to construct irreducible symplectic varieties by studying terminalisations of quotient of hyper-K\"ahler manifolds by non-natural group actions. In particular, we construct irreducible symplectic varieties of dimension 44 with b2=4b_2 = 4 and non-quotient singularities: this provides explicit examples of ISVs for which a global Torelli theorem is not known to hold.
