More birational involutions
Abstract
For a very general polarized K3 surface of degree , we describe in geometrical terms a birational involution of the Hilbert scheme of points on the surface, whose existence was established from lattice theoretical considerations. In a previous work we studied this involution for , with the help of the exceptional Lie group , since the Mukai model of is embedded in its projectivized Lie algebra. Here we use different, more general arguments to show that some important features of the birational involution persist for . In particular, we describe the indeterminacy locus of the involution in terms of a Mori contraction, and deduce that it is birational to a -fibration over a moduli space of sheaves on , that also admits a degree two nef and big line bundle and an induced birational involution.
