Rational curves on irreducible symplectic varieties

After recent works of Gianluca Pacienza in collaboration with François Charles and Giovanni Mongardi, it seems possible to prove the existence of rational curves on irreducible symplectic varieties (IVS) of a fixed deformation type, starting from special points of their moduli spaces and using the parallel transport operators group. I will introduce this approach, used by Charles, Mongardi and Pacienza in the case of IVS that are deformation equivalent to one of the examples introduced by Arnaud Beauville, and I will tackle the open case of IVS deformation equivalent to the dimension 10 example due to Kieran O'Grady. Furthermore, I will explain some important consequence on the Chow group of 0-cycles of the variety.
