Abstract: Suppose $pi:WoS$ is a smooth, proper morphism over a variety $S$ contained as a Zariski open subset in a smooth, complex variety $$. The goal of this note is to consider the question of when $pi$ admits a regular, flat compactification. In other words, when does there exists a flat, proper morphism $$ extending $pi$ with $overlineW$ regular? One interesting recent example of this occurs in the preprint arXiv:1602.05534 of Laza, Sacca and Voisin where $pi$ is a family of abelian $5$-folds over a Zariski open subset $S$ of $$. In that paper, the authors construct $overlineW$ using the theory of compactified Prym varieties and show that it is a holomorphic symplectic manifold (deformation equivalent to O'Grady's $10$-dimensional example). In this note I observe that non-vanishing of the local intersection cohomology of $R^{1}p{i}_{\ast }mathbbQ$ in degree at least $2$ provides an obstruction to finding a $$. Moreover, non-vanishing in degree $1$ provides an obstruction to finding a $$ with irreducible fibers. Then I observe that, in some cases of interest, results of Brylinski, Beilinson and Schnell can be used to compute the intersection cohomology. I also give examples involving cubic $4$-folds, and ask a question about palindromicity of hyperplane sections.
