A family of Fano manifolds obtained as linear sections of the spinor tenfold

By Laurent Manivel

Many nice Fano manifolds and K3 surfaces can be obtained as linear sections of homogeneous spaces. I will study low-codimensional sections of the spinor tenfold, that admit non-trivial moduli starting from codimension four. The corresponding family exhibits an extremely rich geometry, connected with the exceptional complex Lie algebra of type E 8, the theory of graded Lie algebras, as well as the classical Kummer quartic surfaces in three dimensional projective space.
