Abstract

Following Bayer and Macrì, we study the birational geometry of singular moduli spaces M of sheaves on a K3 surface X which admit symplectic resolutions. More precisely, we use the Bayer–Macrì map from the space of Bridgeland stability conditions Stab(X) to the cone of movable divisors on M to relate wall-crossing in Stab(X) to birational transformations of M . We give a complete classification of walls in Stab(X) and show that every minimal birational model of M in the sense of the log minimal model program appears as a moduli space of Bridgeland semistable objects on X. An essential ingredient of our proof is an isometry between the orthogonal complement of a Mukai vector inside the algebraic Mukai lattice of X and the Néron–Severi lattice of M which generalises results of Yoshioka, as well as Perego and Rapagnetta. Moreover, this allows us to conclude that the symplectic resolution of M is deformation equivalent to the 10-dimensional irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifold found by O'Grady.
