Markman–Mukai lattice conjecture for twisted derived categories of hyper-Kähler varieties

Let XX and YY be hyper-Kähler varieties of K3[n]K3^{[n]}-type. Let L(X)L(X) and L(Y)L(Y) be their Markman–Mukai lattices, with primitive generators vv and ww of the rank-one orthogonal complements H2(X)H^2(X)^\perp and H2(Y)H^2(Y)^\perp, respectively; these choices determine orientations (L(X),v)(L(X),v) and (L(Y),w)(L(Y),w). The associated canonical classes are θvH2(X,μ2n2)\theta_v\in H^2(X,\mu_{2n-2}) and θwH2(Y,μ2n2)\theta_w\in H^2(Y,\mu_{2n-2}). Markman–Mukai lattice conjecture. If there exists a Hodge isometry between the oriented Markman–Mukai lattices

ϕ:(L(X),v)(L(Y),w),\phi:(L(X),v)\longrightarrow (L(Y),w),

then there is an equivalence of bounded derived categories

Db(X,[nθv])Db(Y,[ϵnθw]),D^b(X,[n\theta_v])\cong D^b(Y,[\epsilon n\theta_w]),

where ϵ=1\epsilon=1 if ϕ\phi is orientation-preserving and ϵ=1\epsilon=-1 if ϕ\phi is orientation-reversing. More broadly, the authors conjecture that a natural twisted derived category of every hyper-Kähler variety of K3[n]K3^{[n]}-type is controlled by its Markman–Mukai lattice. The conjecture proposes a lattice-theoretic classification of these twisted derived categories, but the supplied text gives no resolution.
