Abstract

Let XX be a smooth cubic fourfold over \C\C and let π:\sJUU\pi : \sJ_U \to U, with U(5) U \subset (\P^5)^*, be the Lagrangian fibration whose fibres are the smooth hyperplane sections YH=XHY_ H = X \cap H, with HUH \in U. There always exists a (not unique) smooth compactification \sJˉ(5)\bar \sJ \to (\P^5)^* which is a hyper-K\"alher manifold of OG10 type. Since two different compactifications are birationally equivalent their Chow motives are isomorphic. For a general XX a geometrical construction of a smooth compactification \sJ(X)\sJ(X) with irreducible fibres has been described in [LSV]. In this note we prove that the Chow motive h(\sJ(X))h(\sJ(X)) is a direct summand of the (twisted) motive of X5X^5 and therefore is is of abelian type if h(X)h(X) is of abelian type.We describe a 10 -dimensional family \sF\sF of cubics XX such that the compactification \sJ(X)\sJ(X) is unique, smooth, with irreducible fibres, and the Chow motive h(\sJ(X))h( \sJ(X) ) is of abelian type.
