TL;DR
The paper analyzes nef and Mori cones for Hilbert schemes of points on a Cayley K3 surface and its generalizations $S_a$ by blending lattice theory via the BBF form, automorphism actions, and Bridgeland stability. It provides an explicit nef-cone description for the Hilbert square $S_1^{[2]}$, including a rational polyhedral fundamental domain for $\mathrm{Aut}(S_1^{[2]})$, and extends to large $n$ by describing the nef cone of $S_a^{[n]}$ through walls determined by contracted curves and extremal divisors $D_{k,t}$. The results reveal a concrete wall-and-chamber structure governed by automorphisms and stability data, with irrational limiting Mori rays and explicit criteria on $n$ that ensure complete cone descriptions. Overall, the work demonstrates how lattice theory, automorphism groups, and Bridgeland stability interact to give detailed geometric descriptions for a non-Mori-dream family of hyperkähler manifolds.
Abstract
We study the nef cones and fundamental domains of Hilbert schemes of points on the Cayley K3 surface $S$ and its generalizations $S_a$. For the Hilbert square $S^{[2]}$, we explicitly compute the nef cone and describe a fundamental domain using the automorphisms of $S^{[2]}$ and lattice-theoretic methods. For higher Hilbert schemes $S_a^{[n]}$, we determine the nef cones using Bridgeland stability methods that identify the contracted curves defining walls and the divisors generating the extremal rays.
