Holomorphic symplectic varieties, hyper-Kähler varieties (14J42)

Abstract: The restriction of the holomorphic symplectic form on a hyperk"ahler manifold

X

to a smooth hypersurface

D s u b s e t X

leads to a regular foliation

m a t h c a l F s u b s e t {m a t h c a l T}_{D}

of rank one, the characteristic foliation. We survey, with essentially complete proofs, a series of recent results concerning the geometry of the characteristic foliation, starting with work by Hwang-Viehweg, but also covering articles by Amerik-Campana and Abugaliev. The picture is complete in dimension four and shows that the behavior of the leaves of

m a t h c a l F

on

D

is determined by the Beauville-Bogomolov square

q (D)

of

D

. In higher dimensions, some of the results depend on the abundance conjecture for

D

.
