Abstract

On a hyperkähler fourfold $X$, Bloch’s conjecture predicts that any involution acts trivially on the deepest level of the Bloch–Beilinson filtration on the Chow group of $0$-cycles.We prove a version of Bloch’s conjecture when $X$ is the Hilbert scheme of $2$ points on a generic quartic in $\mathbb{P}^3$, and the involution is the non-natural, non-symplectic involution on $X$ constructed by Beauville. This has interesting consequences for the Chow groups of the quotient.
