A family of K3 surfaces $\mathscr{X}\rightarrow B$ has the \emph{Franchetta property} if the Chow group of 0-cycles on the generic fiber is cyclic. The generalized Franchetta conjecture proposed by O'Grady asserts that the universal family…

O'Grady's generalized Franchetta conjecture asks whether any codimension two cycle on the universal polarized K3 surface restricts to a multiple of the Beauville--Voisin class on a given K3 surface. We apply Mukai's program for genus 11…

We study relative zero cycles on the universal polarized $K3$ surface $X \to \mathcal{F}_g$ of degree $2g - 2$. It was asked by O'Grady if the restriction of any class in $\mathrm{CH}^2(X)$ to a closed fiber $X_s$ is a multiple of the…

The generalized Franchetta conjecture for hyper-K\"ahler varieties predicts that an algebraic cycle on the universal family of certain polarized hyper-K\"ahler varieties is fiberwise rationally equivalent to zero if and only if it vanishes…

O'Grady's generalized Franchetta conjecture (GFC) is concerned with codimension 2 algebraic cycles on universal polarized K3 surfaces. In \cite{BL17}, this conjecture has been studied in the Betti cohomology groups. Following a suggestion…

We prove the generalized Franchetta conjecture for the locally complete family of hyper-K\"ahler eightfolds constructed by Lehn-Lehn-Sorger-van Straten (LLSS). As a corollary, we establish the Beauville-Voisin conjecture for very general…

Using the isomorphism between the moduli space of polarized K3 surfaces of genus 14 and the moduli space of special cubic fourfolds of discriminant 26, we establish the rationality of the universal K3 surface of genus 14. Precisely, we show…

Let $k$ be a field and let $\Omega$ be a universal domain over $k$. Let $f:X \r S$ be a dominant morphism defined over $k$ from a smooth projective variety $X$ to a smooth projective variety $S$ of dimension $\leq 2$ such that the general…

We construct a collection of higher Chow cycles on certain surfaces which degenerate to an arrangement of planes in general position. When its degree is 4, this construction gives a new explicit proof of the Hodge-D-Conjecture for a certain…

We study the existence of a Chow-theoretic decomposition of the diagonal of a smooth cubic hypersurface, or equivalently, the universal triviality of its ${\rm CH}_0$-group. We prove that for odd dimensional cubic hypersurfaces or for cubic…

For a smooth projective variety equipped with a Chow-K\"unneth (abbr. CK) decomposition, the notions of motivic multiple twist-multiplicativity and multiplicativity defect are introduced to interpret the obstruction to the compatibility of…

Artin's conjecture states that supersingular K3 surfaces over finite fields have Picard number 22. In this paper, we prove Artin's conjecture over fields of characteristic p>3. This implies Tate's conjecture for K3 surfaces over finite…

We describe the application of the results of Kudla-Millson on the modularity of generating series for cohomology classes of special cycles to the case of lattice polarized K3 surfaces. In this case, the special cycles can be interpreted as…

Let S be a K3 surface obtained as triple cover of a quadric branched along a genus 4 curve. Using the relation with cubic fourfolds, we show that S has finite dimensional motive, in the sense of Kimura. We also establish the Kuga-Satake…

We show that the classical Kuga-Satake construction gives rise, away from characteristic 2, to an open immersion from the moduli of primitively polarized K3 surfaces (of any fixed degree) to a certain regular integral model for a Shimura…

We prove the Noether-Lefschetz conjecture on the moduli space of quasi-polarized K3 surfaces. This is deduced as a particular case of a general theorem that states that low degree cohomology classes of arithmetic manifolds of orthogonal…

We give a new interpretation of O'Grady's filtration on the $CH_0$ group of a $K3$ surface. In particular, we get a new characterization of the canonical 0-cycles $kc_X$ : this is the only 0-cycle on $X$ whose orbit under rational…

Recently N. Levin (Comp. Math. 127 (2001), 1--21) proved the Tate conjecture for ordinary cubic fourfolds over finite fields. In this paper we prove the Tate conjecture for self-products of ordinary cubic fourfolds. Our proof is based on…

O'Grady constructed a 6-dimensional irreducible holomorphic symplectic variety by taking a crepant resolution of some moduli space of stable sheaves on an abelian surface. In this paper, we naturally extend O'Grady's construction to fields…

A well known conjecture asserts that a cubic fourfold X is rational if it has a cohomologically associated K3 surface. G.Ouchi proved that if X admits a finite group G of symplectic automorphisms, whose order is different from 2, then X has…
