Smoothness-boundary conjecture for Coble type quartics
Let be the locus of Coble type quartics singular exactly along a smooth hyperkähler fourfold in , and let be its closure. Let and denote the proposed irreducible boundary divisors, and let and be the proposed invariants. Smoothness-boundary conjecture. The complement is a reducible divisor, more precisely with both components irreducible. Equivalently, for , the singular locus of is a smooth hyperkähler fourfold in if and only if and . These divisors are presented as analogues of the divisor of singular cubic fourfolds, and the conjecture identifies the boundary of the smooth hyperkähler locus.
