Abstract: We construct a new 20-dimensional family of projective 6-dimensional irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifolds. The elements of this family are deformation equivalent with the Hilbert scheme of three points on a K3 surface and are constructed as natural double covers of special codimension 3 subvarieties of the Grassmanian G(3,6). These codimension 3 subvarieties are defined as Lagrangian degeneracy loci and their construction is parallel to that of EPW sextics, we call them the EPW cubes. As a consequence we prove that the moduli space of polarized IHS sixfolds of K3-type, Beauville-Bogomolov degree 4 and divisibility 2 is unirational.

Review text

An irreducible holomorphic symplectic (IHS) manifold is a compact Kähler simply connected manifold with a unique (up to a scalar) closed non-degenerate holomorphic two-form. In this paper the authors construct a new $20$-dimensional family of polarized IHS sixfolds of $K3^{[3]}$-type. The elements of this family are double covers of special codimension-three subvarieties of the Grassmannian $G(3,6)$. The codimension-three subvarieties are constructed similarly to EPW sextics as Lagrangian degeneracy loci, and therefore the authors call them EPW cubes. The authors show that the moduli space of polarized IHS sixfolds of $K3^{[3]}$-type with Beauville-Bogomolov degree $4$ and divisibility $2$ is unirational.
