Uniruledness of orthogonal modular varieties

Abstract: A strongly reflective modular form with respect to an orthogonal group of signature (2, n) determines a Lorentzian Kac-Moody algebra. We find a new geometric application of such modular forms: we prove that if the weight is larger than n then the corresponding modular variety is uniruled. We also construct new reflective modular forms and thus provide new examples of uniruled moduli spaces of lattice polarised K3 surfaces. Finally we prove that the moduli space of Kummer surfaces associated to (1, 21)-polarise… Show more

“…The next theorem is a particular case of a more general result proved in a forthcoming paper by Gritsenko and a generalisation of [, Theorem 3.4]. Theorem Let K be a primitive sublattice of N(R) containing a direct summand of the same rank of a root lattice R of a Niemeier lattice N(R) or a primitive sublattice of the Leech lattice Nfalse(false)=normalΛ24.…”

“…(We note that in many cases truenormalO+false(2UKfalse) is not the maximal modular group of the reflective modular form.) The main theorem of gives a result on the geometric type of the corresponding modular varieties. Corollary For all 34 lattices T of signature (n,2) from Theorem , Proposition and Theorem , the modular variety truenormalO+false(Tfalse)Ωfalse(Tfalse) is at least uniruled.…”

“…We expect a long list of the moduli spaces K t of Kummer surfaces which are rational or unirational since the first cusp Γ * t -form of weight 3 is known only for t = 167 (see [19]). We note that the uniruledness of K t for a non-exceptional t = 21 was proved in [13].…”
