TL;DR
The paper extends the derived-equivalence framework from K3^{[n]}-type to hyper-Kähler manifolds deformation equivalent to generalized Kummer varieties by constructing the Kum^{n-1} lattice abla_X inside the extended Mukai lattice and proving its invariance under derived autoequivalences via the derived monodromy group. It develops a detailed lattice-theoretic and Hodge-structural toolkit, including Eichler transvections, to realize derived-automorphism actions as orthogonal transformations and to lift derived equivalences from abelian surfaces to Kum^{n-1}(A) via generalized BKR-type correspondences. The main results establish the invariance of abla_X under derived equivalences, constrain the image of the autoequivalence representation to a finite, well-described subgroup of the Kum-type orthogonal group, and, as a corollary, yield finiteness statements for Fourier–Mukai partners and a clear factorization through the Hodge-isometry automorphism group. Together, these findings deepen the understanding of how derived categories constrain the geometry of Kum-type hyper-Kähler manifolds and provide tools for classifying derived-equivalent Kum varieties via lattice-theoretic data.
Abstract
We use the extended Mukai vectors for hyper-Kähler manifolds to investigate the derived equivalences of the hyper-Kähler manifolds which are deformation equivalent to generalized Kummer varieties. Inspired by the idea for hyper-Kähler manifolds of $\mathrm{K3}^{[n]}$-type, we obtain an integral lattice which is proved to be invariant under the derived equivalences of generalized Kummer type varieties. Such results and applications are described using derived monodromy groups.
