Factoriality properties of moduli spaces of sheaves on abelian and K3 surfaces

In this paper, we complete the determination of the index of factoriality of moduli spaces of semistable sheaves on an abelian or projective K3 surface S. If v is a Mukai vector and H a generic polarization, let Mv(S,H) be the moduli space of H-semistable sheaves on S with Mukai vector v. First, we describe in terms of v the pure weight-2 Hodge structure and the Beauville form on the second integral cohomology of the symplectic resolutions of M v(S,H) (when S is K3) and of the fiber Kv(S,H) of the Albanese map of Mv(S,H) (when S is abelian). Then, if S is K3, we show that Mv(S,H) is either locally factorial or 2-factorial, and we give an example of both cases. If S is abelian, we show that Mv(S,H) and Kv(S,H) are 2-factorial.
