O'Grady's L conjecture for degree-2 polarized deformations of Hilbert schemes of K3 surfaces

Let n2n\geq 2, and let (X,H)(X,H) be a degree-22 polarized irreducible symplectic variety, meaning that XX is an irreducible symplectic manifold deformation equivalent to (K3)[n](K3)^{[n]} and HH is an indivisible ample divisor with (c1(H),c1(H))=2(c_1(H),c_1(H))=2. Let Qn0{\cal Q}_n^0 be the open parameter space of such polarized varieties in a fixed Hilbert scheme, and let (Xt,Ht)(X_t,H_t) denote the variety corresponding to tQn0t\in {\cal Q}_n^0. O'Grady's L conjecture. There exists an open dense subset UnQn0U_n\subset {\cal Q}_n^0 such that, for every tUnt\in U_n, the linear system Ht|H_t| has no base-locus and the map ft ⁣:XtHtf_t\colon X_t\to |H_t|^{\vee} has degree 22 onto its image YtY_t. More precisely, there is an involution ϕt ⁣:XtXt\phi_t\colon X_t\to X_t such that ftf_t factors as

XtπtXt/ϕtνtYt,X_t\overset{\pi_t}{\longrightarrow}X_t/\langle\phi_t\rangle\overset{\nu_t}{\longrightarrow}Y_t,

where πt\pi_t is the quotient map and νt\nu_t is the normalization map; if ht:=c1(Ht)h_t:=c_1(H_t) and Rht(v)=v+(v,ht)htR_{h_t}(v)=-v+(v,h_t)h_t, then H2(ϕt)=RhtH^2(\phi_t)=R_{h_t}. The conjecture predicts the generic behavior of degree-22 polarizations on deformations of (K3)[n](K3)^{[n]}, extending the simple linear-system behavior of polarized K3 surfaces; the supplied text gives examples but no resolution.
