A generalized Kummer variety , for an integer
, is the fiber over the origin
of the summation morphism
associated with a two-dimensional complex abelian variety
. Here
is the Hilbert scheme
of length-
subschemes of
, and the summation morphism adds
their support points with multiplicities. The resulting smooth complex
manifold has complex dimension
(Beauville 1983).
A complex manifold is of generalized Kummer type if it is deformation equivalent to such a fiber. This larger
class is not restricted to the fibers themselves. For projective
members of this class with and
prime, the Hodge
conjecture holds for every self-power (Floccari and Fu 2026).
