Groups acting on moduli spaces of hyper-K\"ahler manifolds

Abstract

The period morphism of polarized hyper-K\"ahler manifolds of K3$^{[m]}$-type gives an embedding of each connected component of the moduli space of polarized hyper-K\"ahler manifolds of K3$^{[m]}$-type into their period space, which is the quotient of a Hermitian symmetric domain by an arithmetic group. Following work of Stellari and Gritsenko-Hulek-Sankaran, we study the ramification of covering maps between these period spaces that arise from the action of some groups of isometries.
