On the transcendental lattices of Hyperkähler manifolds

Abstract

We introduce the notion of a Hyper-Kähler manifold $X$ induced by a Hodge structure of K3-type. We explore this notion for the known deformation types of hyper-Kähler manifolds studying those that are induced by a K3 or abelian surface, giving lattice-theoretic criteria to decide whether or not they are birational to a moduli space of sheaves over said surface. We highlight the different behaviors we find for the particular class of hyper-Kähler manifolds of O'Grady type.
