On O'Grady's generalized Franchetta conjecture (1604.02939v1)

Abstract: We study relative zero cycles on the universal polarized $K3$ surface $X \to \mathcal{F}g$ of degree $2g - 2$. It was asked by O'Grady if the restriction of any class in $\mathrm{CH}^2(X)$ to a closed fiber $X_s$ is a multiple of the Beauville-Voisin canonical class $c{X_s} \in \mathrm{CH}_0(X_s)$. Using Mukai models, we give an affirmative answer to this question for $g \leq 10$ and $g = 12, 13, 16, 18, 20$.
