For a general cubic fourfold $Y$ with associated Fano variety of lines $ F $, we show that the monodromy group of the finite degree 16 rational Voisin self-map $\psi \colon F \dashrightarrow F$ is maximal. To achieve this, we investigate…

We prove that given a cubic fourfold $Y$ not containing any plane, the Voisin map $v: F(Y)\times F(Y) \dashrightarrow Z(Y)$ constructed in \cite{Voi}, where $F(Y)$ is the variety of lines and $Z(Y)$ is the Lehn-Lehn-Sorger-van Straten…

We study fixed loci of antisymplectic involutions on projective hyperk\"ahler manifolds of $\mathrm{K3}^{[n]}$-type. When the involution is induced by an ample class of square 2 in the Beauville-Bogomolov-Fujiki lattice, we show that the…

Let $Y$ be a smooth cubic fourfold, $F$ be its Fano variety of lines and $Z$ be its associated LLSvS variety, parametrizing families of twisted cubics and some of their degenerations. In this short note, we show that the divisor of singular…

Given a family of varieties, the Euler discriminant locus distinguishes points where Euler characteristic differs from its generic value. We introduce a hypergeometric system associated with a flat family of very affine locally complete…

We continue our study of fixed loci of antisymplectic involutions on projective hyper-K\"ahler manifolds of $\mathrm{K3}^{[n]}$-type induced by an ample class of square 2 in the Beauville-Bogomolov-Fujiki lattice. We prove that if the…

In this paper we define the notion of a hyperk\"ahler manifold (potentially) of Jacobian type. If we view hyperk\"ahler manifolds as "abelian varieties", then those of Jacobian type should be viewed as "Jacobian varieties". Under a minor…

Let $X$ be a hyperk\"ahler variety. Voisin has conjectured that the classes of Lagrangian constant cycle subvarieties in the Chow ring of $X$ should lie in a subring injecting into cohomology. We study this conjecture for the Fano variety…

We consider the indeterminacy locus $I(\Phi_n)$ of the iterate map $\Phi_n:\overline{M}_d-rightarrow\overline{M}_{d^n}$, where $\overline{M}_d$ is the GIT compactification of the moduli space $M_d$ of degree $d$ complex rational maps. We…

We find a relation between a cubic hypersurface $Y$ and its Fano variety of lines $F(Y)$ in the Grothendieck ring of varieties. We prove that if the class of an affine line is not a zero-divisor in the Grothendieck ring of varieties, then…

Let \(X\subset \mathbb{P}^{n+1}\) be a smooth cubic hypersurface, and let \(F(X)\) be the variety of lines on \(X\). We prove the surjectivity of the cylinder maps on the Chow groups of \(F(X)\) and \(X\) if \(X\) contains a one-cycle of…

We study the problem of the irreducibility of the Hessian variety $\mathcal{H}_f$ associated with a smooth cubic hypersurface $V(f)\subset \mathbb{P}^n$. We prove that when $n\leq5$, $\mathcal{H}_f$ is normal and irreducible if and only if…

Informed by the Bloch-Beilinson conjectures, Voisin has made a conjecture about $0$-cycles on self-products of Calabi-Yau varieties. In this note, we consider variant versions of Voisin's conjecture for cubic fourfolds, and for…

The period map for cubic fourfolds takes values in a locally symmetric variety of orthogonal type of dimension 20. We determine the image of this period map (thus confirming a conjecture of Hassett) and give at the same time a new proof of…

Let $X$ be a smooth complex cubic fourfold and let $F$ be the variety of lines of $X$. The variety $F$ is known to be a smooth projective hyperkaehler fourfold, which is moreover endowed with a self rational map $\phi : F -\rightarrow F$…

We give an interpretation of the Fano variety of lines on a cubic fourfold and of the hyperkahler eightfold, constructed by Lehn, Lehn, Sorger and van Straten from twisted cubic curves in a cubic fourfold non containing a plane, as moduli…

In this note we make a few remarks about the geometry of the holomorphic symplectic manifold Z constructed by C.Lehn, M.Lehn, C.Sorger and D. van Straten as a two-step contraction of the variety of twisted cubic curves on a cubic fourfold Y…

For a general cubic fourfold $X \subset \mathbb{P}^5$, we compute the Hodge numbers of the locus $S \subset F$ of lines of second type. We also give an upper bound of 6 for the degree of irrationality of the Fano scheme of lines of any…

The moduli space $\mathrm{rat}_d$ of rational maps in one complex variable of degree $d \ge 2$ has a natural compactification by a projective variety $\overline{\mathrm{rat}}_d$ provided by geometric invariant theory. Given $n \ge 2$, the…
