Markman's monodromy conjecture for generalized Kummer varieties

Let XX be deformation equivalent to a generalized Kummer variety of dimension 2n2n, with n2n\geq 2. Then H2(X,Z)H^2(X,\mathbb Z) is isometric to Λ:=UUUZδ\Lambda:=U\oplus U\oplus U\oplus \mathbb Z\delta, where UU is the unimodular rank-22 lattice of signature (1,1)(1,1) and (δ,δ)=22n(\delta,\delta)=-2-2n. For uH2(X,Z)u\in H^2(X,\mathbb Z) with (u,u)=2(u,u)=2, set ρu=Ru\rho_u=-R_u, and for (u,u)=2(u,u)=-2, set ρu:=Ru\rho_u:=R_u. Let N(X){\mathcal N}(X) be the subgroup of O+[H2(X,Z)]O^+[H^2(X,\mathbb Z)] generated by products ρu1ρuk\rho_{u_1}\cdots\rho_{u_k} in which (ui,ui)=2(u_i,u_i)=-2 for an even number of indices and (ui,ui)=2(u_i,u_i)=2 for the remaining indices. Markman's monodromy conjecture. Mon2(X)=N(X)Mon^2(X)={\mathcal N}(X). The source records the inclusion N(X)Mon2(X){\mathcal N}(X)\subset Mon^2(X) as proved and the equality as known when n=2n=2; the general equality remains unresolved there.
