On product identities and the Chow rings of holomorphic symplectic varieties

Abstract

For a moduli space $M$ of stable sheaves over a $K3$ surface $X$, we propose a series of conjectural identities in the Chow rings $CH_\star (M \times X^\ell),\, \ell \geq 1,$ generalizing the classic Beauville-Voisin identity for a $K3$ surface. We emphasize consequences of the conjecture for the structure of the tautological subring $R_\star (M) \subset CH_\star (M).$ The conjecture places all tautological classes in the lowest piece of a natural filtration emerging on $CH_\star (M)$, which we also discuss. We prove the proposed identities when $M$ is the Hilbert scheme of points on a $K3$ surface.
