Irreducible symplectic varieties via relative Prym varieties
Abstract
Generalizing work of Markushevich–Tikhomirov and Arbarello--Saccà--Ferretti, we use relative Prym varieties to construct Lagrangian fibered symplectic varieties in infinitely many dimensions. We then give criteria for when the construction yields primitive symplectic varieties, respectively, irreducible symplectic varieties. The starting point of the construction is a K3 surface endowed with an anti-symplectic involution and an effective linear system on the quotient surface. We give sufficient conditions on the linear system to ensure that the relative Prym varieties satisfy the criteria above. As a consequence, we produce infinite series of irreducible symplectic varieties.
