The purpose of the present paper is to show that Mukai's space \({\mathcal M}\) which parametrizes stable sheaves of given numerical type on a \(K3\) surface \(S\), is a deformation of Hitchin's completely integrable dynamical system which lives on the cotangent bundle \({\mathbb T}^* {\mathcal U}_C\) of the moduli space \({\mathcal U}_C\) of stable vector bundles of given rank and degree on an algebraic curve \(C\) [\textit{S. Mukai}, Invent. Math. 77, 101-116 (1984; Zbl 0565.14002) and \textit{N. Hitchin}, Duke Math. J. 54, 90-114 (1987; Zbl 0627.14024)]. The authors also study the nilpotent cone \(\text{Nilp}(M)\) in the Mukai system and determine its corresponding one in Hitchin's system. Related to the paper under review, Markman has shown that the moduli space of Lagrangian sheaves on a symplectic variety is a completely integrable system, fibred by the support map.
