The motivic control conjecture for hyper-Kähler varieties

Let XX be a hyper-Kähler variety and let KS(X)\mathrm{KS}(X) be its Kuga–Satake variety. Let XX and YY be deformation-equivalent hyper-Kähler varieties, and suppose there is a Hodge isometry

H2(X,Q)H2(Y,Q).H^2(X,\mathbb{Q})\xrightarrow{\sim}H^2(Y,\mathbb{Q}).

Motivic control conjecture. The variety XX should be motivated by KS(X)\mathrm{KS}(X), and the motives of XX and YY should be isomorphic. These assertions express the expectation that the motive of a hyper-Kähler variety is controlled by its second cohomology. The paper proves the second assertion for homological motives of OG6-resolutions, while the general conjecture remains open.
