Examples of irreducible symplectic varieties

Abstract

Irreducible symplectic manifolds are one of the three building blocks of compact K\"ahler manifolds with numerically trivial canonical bundle by the Beauville-Bogomolov decomposition theorem. There are several singular analogues of irreducible symplectic manifolds, in particular in the context of compact K\"ahler orbifolds, and in the context of normal projective varieties with canonical singularities. In this paper we will collect their definitions, analyze their mutual relations and provide a list of known examples.
