Involutions and linear systems on holomorphic symplectic manifolds
Abstract
A surface with an ample divisor of self-intersection 2 is a double cover of the plane branched over a sextic curve. We conjecture that a similar statement holds for the generic couple with a deformation of and an ample divisor of square 2 for Beauville's quadratic form. If then according to the conjecture is a double cover of a (singular) sextic 4-fold in . It follows from the conjecture that a deformation of carrying a divisor (not necessarily ample) of degree 2 has an anti-symplectic birational involution. We test the conjecture. In doing so we bump into some interesting geometry: examples of two anti-symplectic involutions generating an interesting dynamical system, a case of Strange duality and what is probably an involution on the moduli space of degree-2 quasi-polarized where is a deformation of .
