Abstract

A torsion free sheaf on a hyperk\"ahler variety XX is modular if the discriminant satisfies a certain condition, for example if it is a multiple of c2(X)c_2(X) the sheaf is modular. The definition is taylor made for torsion-free sheaves on a polarized hyperk\"ahler variety (X,h) which deform to all small deformations of (X,h). For hyperk\"ahlers deformation equivalent to K3[2]K3^{[2]} we prove an existence and uniqueness result for slope-stable modular vector bundles with certain ranks, c1c_1 and c2c_2. As a consequence we get uniqueness up to isomorphism of the tautological quotient rank 44 vector bundles on the variety of lines on a generic cubic 44-dimensional hypersurface, and on the Debarre-Voisin variety associated to a generic skew-symmetric 33-form on a 1010-dimensional complex vector space. The last result implies that the period map from the moduli space of Debarre-Voisin varieties to the relevant period space is birational.
