Irreducible symplectic varieties from moduli spaces of sheaves on K3 and Abelian surfaces

Abstract

We show that the moduli spaces of sheaves on a projective K3 surface are irreducible symplectic varieties, and that the same holds for the fibers of the Albanese map of moduli spaces of sheaves on an Abelian surface.
