Locally trivial monodromy of moduli spaces of sheaves on K3 surfaces

Abstract

In this paper we study monodromy operators on moduli spaces $M_v(S,H)$ of sheaves on K3 surfaces with non-primitive Mukai vectors $v$. If we write $v=mw$, with $m>1$ and $w$ primitive, then our main result is that the inclusion $M_w(S,H)\to M_v(S,H)$ as the most singular locus induces an isomorphism between the monodromy groups of these symplectic varieties, allowing us to extend to the non-primitive case a result of Markman.
