A very special EPW sextic and two IHS fourfolds

2017 
We show that the Hilbert scheme of two points on the Vinberg K3 surface has a two-to-one map onto a very symmetric EPW sextic Y in ℙ5. The fourfold Y is singular along 60 planes, 20 of which form a complete family of incident planes. This solves a problem of Morin and O’Grady and establishes that 20 is the maximal cardinality of such a family of planes. Next, we show that this Hilbert scheme is birationally isomorphic to the Kummer-type IHS fourfold X0 constructed by Donten-Bury and Wiśniewski [On 81 symplecticresolutions of a 4–dimensional quotient by a group of order32, preprint (2014)]. We find that X0 is also related to the Debarre–Varley abelian fourfold.
