More birational involutions

Abstract

For SS a very general polarized K3 surface of degree 8n68n-6, we describe in geometrical terms a birational involution of the Hilbert scheme S[n]S^{[n]} of nn points on the surface, whose existence was established from lattice theoretical considerations. In a previous work we studied this involution for n=3n=3, with the help of the exceptional Lie group G2G_2, since the Mukai model of SS 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 n4n\ge 4. In particular, we describe the indeterminacy locus of the involution in terms of a Mori contraction, and deduce that it is birational to a P2\mathbb{P}^2-fibration over a moduli space of sheaves on SS, that also admits a degree two nef and big line bundle and an induced birational involution.
