The Fano variety of lines on singular cyclic cubic fourfolds (2312.15317v1)

Abstract: We study the symplectic resolution of the Fano variety of lines on some singular cyclic cubic fourfolds, i.e. cubic fourfolds arising as cyclic 3:1 cover of $\mathbb{P}^4$ branched along a cubic threefold. In particular we are interested in the geometry of these varieties in the case of cyclic cubic fourfolds branched along a cubic threefold having one isolated singularity of type $A_i$ for $i=2,3,4$. On these symplectic resolutions we find a non-symplectic automorphism of order three induced by the covering automorphism.
