Abstract

We show that a Hilbert scheme of conics on a Fano fourfold double cover of P2×P2\mathbb{P}^2\times\mathbb{P}^2 ramified along a divisor of bidegree (2,2)(2,2) admits a P1\mathbb{P}^1-fibration with base being a hyper-K\"{a}hler fourfold. We investigate the geometry of such fourfolds relating them with degenerated EPW cubes, with elements in the Brauer groups of K3K3 surfaces of degree 22, and with Verra threefolds studied in [Ver04]. These hyper-K\"{a}hler fourfolds admit natural involutions and complete the classification of geometric realizations of anti-symplectic involutions on hyper-K\"{a}hler 44-folds of type K3[2]K3^{[2]}. As a consequence we present also three constructions of quartic Kummer surfaces in P3\mathbb{P}^3: as Lagrangian and symmetric degeneracy loci and as the base of a fibration of conics in certain threefold quadric bundles over P1\mathbb{P}^1.
