Description

If a hypersurface in a projective space is singular exactly along a variety X, we call it a Coble type hypersurface for X. Hyperkähler manifolds are natural generalizations of K3 surfaces in higher dimensions, and geometric descriptions for locally complete families are only known in very few cases. In this talk, we present two new examples of K3^[2]-type, in terms of Coble type hypersurfaces. Based on joint work with Benedetta Piroddi, Ángel Ríos Ortiz, and Andrés Rojas.
