The perfect cone compactification of quotients of type IV domains

Algebraic Geometry 2021-12-13 v3

Abstract

The perfect cone compactification is a toroidal compactification which can be defined for locally symmetric varieties. Let DL/O~+(L)p\overline{D_{L}/\widetilde{O}^{+}(L)}^{p} be the perfect cone compactification of the quotient of the type IV domain DLD_{L} associated to an even lattice LL. In our main theorem we show that the pair (DL/O~+(L)p,Δ/2){ (\overline{D_{L}/\widetilde{O}^{+}(L)}^{p}, \Delta/2) } has klt singularities, where Δ\Delta is the closure of the branch divisor of DL/O~+(L){ D_{L}/\widetilde{O}^{+}(L) }. In particular this applies to the perfect cone compactification of the moduli space of 2d2d-polarised K3K3 surfaces with ADE singularities when dd is square-free.
