Fano visitor problem for K3 surfaces

Abstract

Let XX be a K3 surface with Picard number 1 and genus gg, such that g≢3mod4g\not\equiv 3 \mod 4. In this paper, we show that XX is a Fano visitor, i.e., there is a smooth Fano variety YY and an embedding Db(X)Db(Y)D^b(X)\hookrightarrow D^b(Y) given by a fully faithful functor. If g3mod4g\equiv 3\mod 4, we construct a smooth weak Fano variety YY. Our proof is based on several results concerning a sequence of flips associated with a K3 surface and an ample line bundle. This sequence is constructed by using the work of Bayer and Macr\`i on the description of the birational geometry of a moduli space of sheaves on a K3 surface through Bridgeland stability conditions, and the study of the fixed locus of antisymplectic involutions on hyperk\"ahler manifolds by Sacc\`a, Macr\`i, O'Grady, and Flapan.

Comments

We have corrected Proposition 10.1 and 10.3 from the previous version as they were incorrectly stated. They are now Proposition 10.1 and 10.4 respectively. Section 11 now cover only the case when $g$. is divisible by 4. Comments are welcome!
