Higher-dimensional O'Grady's resolutions and their exceptional locus

Algebraic Geometry 2025-07-25 v2

Abstract

For any n3n \ge 3, we consider the moduli space MnM_n of semistable sheaves with Mukai vector 2(1,0,1n)2(1,0,1-n) on a K3 surface. The moduli space MnM_n is singular and lacks a crepant resolution, but might still admit a categorical crepant one. As a preliminary to exploring this possibility, we study the explicit resolution of singularities of MnM_n constructed by O'Grady, and provide a global description of its exceptional locus.
