Hyper-Kähler Manifolds of Generalized Kummer Type and the Kuga-Satake Correspondence

We first describe the construction of the Kuga-Satake variety associated to a (polarized) weight-two Hodge structure of hyper-Kähler type. We describe the classical cases where the Kuga-Satake correspondence between a hyper-Kähler manifold and its Kuga-Satake variety has been proved to be algebraic. We then turn to recent work of O'Grady and Markman which we combine to prove that the Kuga-Satake correspondence is algebraic for projective hyper-Kähler manifolds of generalized Kummer deformation type.
