PhD course: Stable bundles on hyper-Kähler manifolds

Wednesday 15-17, aula B (Dipartimento di Matematica "Guido Castelnuovo")
Sapienza Università di Roma
October 9--30, 2024

The aim of this course is to present some recent advances in the theory of stable sheaves on higher dimensional hyper-Kähler manifolds. In the first part we will review Mukai's theory on K3 surfaces. We will then consider hyper-Kähler fourfolds, by presenting in this setting general results due to O'Grady, Markman, Beckmann, and Bottini.
