Résumé

Abstract: Galois groups have a long history in enumerative geometry, encoding the intrinsic symmetries of enumerative problems. In this talk, after revisiting the core properties of enumerative Galois groups and their connections with monodromy, we focus on the Fano variety F of lines on a cubic fourfold Y, a hyperkähler fourfold, and investigate the monodromy of the Voisin map, a degree 16 self-rational map of F. We show that its Galois group is « as large as possible », and, in doing so, delve into the geometry of the LLSvS variety—a hyperkähler manifold parameterizing twisted cubics on Y. This is based on joint work with L.Giovenzana.
