Hilbert squares of genus 16 K3 surfaces
Abstract
We consider the geometry of a general polarized K3 surface $(S,h)$ of genus 16 and its Fourier-Mukai partner $(S',h')$. We prove that $S^{[2]}$ is isomorphic to the moduli space $M_{S'}(2,h',7)$ of stable sheaves with Mukai vector $(2,h',7)$ and describe the embeddings of the projectivization of the stable vector bundle of Mukai vector $(2,-h',8)$ over $S'$ into these two isomorphic hyper-K\"ahler fourfolds. Following the work of Fr\'ed\'Eric Han in arXiv:2501.16013, we explicitly construct an interesting 3-form $t_1\in \wedge^3 V_{10}^*$ which potentially gives an isomorphism between $S^{[2]}$ and the Debarre-Voisin fourfold in $G(6,V_{10})$ associated to $t_1\in \wedge^3 V_{10}^*$. This would provide a geometric explanation of the existence of such an isomorphism, which was proved in arXiv:2102.11622 by a completely different argument.
