Abstract: Let X be a Hyperk"{a}hler variety deformation equivalent to the Hilbert square on a K3 surface and let f be an involution preserving the symplectic form. We prove that the fixed locus of f consists of 28 isolated points and 1 K3 surface, moreover the anti-invariant lattice of the induced involution on H^2(X,Z) is isomorphic to E_8(-2). Finally we prove that any couple consisting of one such variety and a symplectic involution on it can be deformed into a couple consisting of the Hilbert square of a K3 surface and the involution induced by a Nikulin involution on the K3 surface.


The paper studies symplectic involutions on hyperkähler manifolds of \(K3^{[2]}\)-type. \textit{C. Camere} [``Symplectic involutions of holomorphic symplectic fourfolds, \url{arxiv:1010.2607}] has shown that the fixed loci either contain a complex torus or consist of \(28\) isolated points and a \(K3\) surface. Now Theorem 4.1 of the paper proves that the former does not occur. At the same time, the author shows that the anti-invariant sublattice of \(H^2\) is isomorphic to \(E_8(-2)\), a fact of analogue to \(K3\) surfaces. In particular, it is shown that all symplectic involutions are deformation equivalent. The main ingredient of the proof is deformation theory with automorphisms and uses the corresponding result for \(K3\) surfaces proved by \textit{V. V. Nikulin} [Math. USSR, Izv. 14, 103--167 (1980; Zbl 0427.10014)]. The paper also includes some fundamental considerations on finite automorphisms of \(K3^{[2]}\)-type manifolds.
