A singular symplectic variety of dimension 6 with a Lagrangian Prym fibration (Q2634734)

A holomorphic symplectic manifold is complex projective (or Kähler) manifold that is simply connected and carries a holomorphic two-form that is nowhere degenerate. Symplectic manifolds are notoriously difficult to construct, initiated by O'Grady's examples a lot of work in the last ten years has focused on constructing examples as desingularisations of singular symplectic spaces. In the paper under review the author constructs a projective, simply connected variety \(X\) of dimension 6 carrying a unique holomorphic two-form, this form is non-degenerate on the smooth locus of \(X\). Unfortunately the desingularisations of \(X\) are never symplectic manifolds, however \(X\) has an additional structure which makes it interesting in its own right: it admits a Lagrangian fibration \(X \rightarrow \mathbb P^3\) such that the general fibres are Prym varieties associated to an étale double cover of curves \(C \rightarrow C'\). The construction follows an approach introduced by \textit{D. Markushevich} and \textit{A. S. Tikhomirov} [Int. J. Math. 18, No. 10, 1187--1224 (2007; Zbl 1138.14032)]: start with a \(K3\) surface arising as a double cover of some del Pezzo surface, and consider the linear system defined by the pull-backs of anticanonical divisors on the del Pezzo surface. The relative compactified Prym variety has then a fibration over the anticanonical system and inherits a symplectic form from the \(K3\) surface.
