Abstract

For a very general polarized $K3$ surface $S\subset \mathbb{P}^g$ of genus $g\ge 5$, we study the linear system on the Hilbert square $S^{[2]}$ parametrizing quadrics in $\mathbb{P}^g$ that contain $S$. We prove its very ampleness for $g\geq 7$. In the cases of genus 7 or 8, we describe in detail the projective geometry of the corresponding embedding by making use of the Mukai model for $S$. In both cases, it can be realized as a degeneracy locus on an ambient homogeneous space, in a strikingly similar fashion. In consequence, we give explicit descriptions of its ideal and syzygies. Furthermore, we extract new information on the locally complete families, in a first step towards the understanding of their projective geometry.
