Irreducibility conjecture for universal Severi varieties of curves on K3 surfaces
Let be the moduli stack of primitively polarized K3 surfaces of genus , parametrizing pairs where is ample and primitive with . Let be the open substack where the Severi variety is nonempty, and let be the stack over whose fibre over is . Irreducibility conjecture. The universal Severi variety is irreducible. This concerns the global irreducibility of Severi varieties in varying primitively polarized K3 surfaces; smoothness is known, while irreducibility is posed as a conjecture in the source.
