Irreducible symplectic varieties via K3-del Pezzo double covers
Riccardo Carini
We construct a series of irreducible symplectic varieties of dimension , for , with second Betti numbers . They arise as non-trivial terminal…
Semi-rigid stable sheaves: a criterion and examples
Alessio Bottini, Riccardo Carini
Inspired by Mukai's work on K3 surfaces, we introduce and study a notion of semi-rigidity for stable sheaves on smooth polarised varieties, designed to capture the existence of sta…
Holomorphic symplectic manifolds from semistable Higgs bundles
Roland Abuaf, Riccardo Carini
Let be the moduli space of semistable rank two and degree zero Higgs bundles on a smooth complex hyperelliptic curve of genus three. We prove that the q…
One-dimensional Local Families of Complex K3 Surfaces
Riccardo Carini, Francesco Viganò
For any complex K3 surface , we construct a one-dimensional deformation in which all integers with occur as Picard numbers of some fibres. In contrast, we…
