The classification of irreducible symplectic surfaces reveals their structure in complex geometry, suggesting new geometric insights.
In this paper we classify the irreducible symplectic surfaces, i.e., compact, connected complex surfaces with canonical singularities that have a holomorphic symplectic form σ σ on the smooth locus, and for which every finite quasi-étale covering has the algebra of reflexive forms spanned by the reflexive pull-back of σ σ . More precisely, we classify all singular symplectic surfaces distinguish them in primitive symplectic surfaces, irreducible symplectic surfaces and 2-dimensional irreducible symplectic orbifolds. Moreover, we prove that the Hilbert scheme of two points on such a surface X is an irreducible symplectic variety, at least in the case where the smooth locus of X is simply connected.
