Abstract
We prove that the Hilbert square of a very general primitively polarized K3 surface S of degree , is birational to a double Eisenbud-Popescu-Walter sextic. Our result implies a positive answers, in the case when is even, to a conjecture of O'Grady: On the Hilbert square of a very general K3 surface of genus , there is an antisymplectic involution. We explicitly give this involution on in term of the corresponding EPW polarization on it.
