Abstract: Moduli spaces of semistable torsion-free sheaves on a K3 surface X are often holomorphic symplectic varieties, deformation equivalent to a Hilbert scheme parametrizing zero-dimensional subschemes of X. In fact this should hold whenever semistability is equivalent to stability. In this paper we study a typical "opposite" case, i.e. the moduli space Mc of semistable rank-two torsion-free sheaves on X with trivial determinant and second Chern class equal to an even number c. The moduli space Mc always contains points corresponding to strictly semistable sheaves. If c is at least 4, then Mc is singular along the locus parametrizing strictly semistable sheaves, and on the smooth locus of Mc there is a symplectic holomorphic form. Thus it is natural to ask whether there is a symplectic desingularization of Mc. We construct such a desingularization for c=4; in another paper we show that this desingularization gives a new deformation class of (K"ahler) holomorphic irreducible symplectic varieties (of dimension ten). We also study the case c>4. We describe what should be an interesting desingularization, however we are not able to produce a symplectic one. In fact we suspect there is no symplectic smooth model of Mc if c>4 (and even, of course).
