    From the Section 2.1: ``Let \(V=\mathbb C^6\) be a 6-dimensional complex vector space, and let \( \alpha:V \times V \to \mathbb C \) be a symplectic form on \(V\). \(\alpha\) is bilinear, skew symmetric, and non degenerate. It is possible to choose a basis of \(V\) such that the Gram matrix of \(\alpha\) is given by a matrix \(J\) with rows \(\left(\begin{smallmatrix} 0 & I_3\\ -I_3 & 0\end{smallmatrix}\right)\) where \(I_3\) is the unit matrix of order \(3\). The complex symplectic group \(\text{Sp}_6(\mathbb C)\) has a natural embedding in \(\text{SL}(6,\mathbb C)\) as the subgroup of all the complex rank-6 matrices that leave the matrix \(J\) invariant: \[ \text{Sp}_6(\mathbb C)=\{ Z \in \text{SL}(6,\mathbb C): {^t Z J Z}=J \} \] A subspace \(U \subset V\) is called isotropic if \(\alpha(U,U)=0\). The maximal dimension of an isotropic subspace in \(V\) is \(3\), and in this case it is called Lagrangian. By definition the complex Lagrangian Grassmannian \(\mathbf{LG}(3,V)\) is the set of Lagrangian subspaces of \(V\).'' In this paper general linear sections of \(\mathbf{LG}(3,V)\) are considered. In particular here it is generalized a result of Mukai which gives an interpretation of the general complete intersection of \(\mathbf{LG}(3,V)\) in its Plücker embedding in \({\mathbb P}^{13}\) with a linear subspace \({\mathbb P}^{10}\) as a non-abelian Brill-Noether locus of vector bundles on a plane quartic curve. This plane quartic can be interpreted in a very natural way as the orthogonal plane section of the dual variety of \(\mathbf{LG}(3,V)\). The main goal of this paper is to get similar description for general linear sections of \(\mathbf{LG}(3,V)\) of various dimension. We give here just two of the results obtained in this paper: Proposition. Let \(X\) be a general prime Fano threefold of degree \(16\) (which is a linear 3-fold section of \(\mathbf{LG}(3,V)\)). Then the \(\text{Sp}(3)\)-dual to \(X\) is isomorphic to an irreducible component of the moduli space of stable rank \(2\) vector bundles on \(X\) with \(c_1=h\) and \(c_2=C\) where \([h]\) is the class of the hyperplane section of \(X\) and \(C\) is the class of an elliptic sextic curve on \(X\). Proposition. For the general linear surface section \(S\) of \({\mathbf {LG}}(3,V)\), the moduli \(K3\) surface \(M_S(2,H,4)\) of rank \(2\) stable bundle on \(S\) with \(c_1=H=O_S(1)\) and \(\chi=6\) is isomorphic to the \(\text{Sp}(3)\)-dual quartic surface section.
