One useful version is the effective global Torelli theorem for K3 surfaces. Let be complex K3 surfaces and let
preserve the integral cup-product pairing and the Hodge decomposition. Suppose that carries some Kähler class of to a Kähler class of . Then
Conversely every isomorphism has these properties. In particular, for projective K3 surfaces an integral Hodge isometry carrying an ample polarization to an ample polarization is induced by a unique isomorphism of the polarized surfaces. This is the effective global Torelli statement.
The Kähler-cone condition is necessary if the prescribed isometry itself is to be induced by an isomorphism. If is the class of an effective smooth rational -curve, the reflection
is integral, preserves the pairing, and preserves the Hodge decomposition because has type . It sends to . An automorphism preserves effectivity, whereas is not effective: it has negative intersection with an ample class. Thus this Hodge isometry is not an automorphism pullback. Requiring an isometry to respect the Kähler chamber removes precisely this kind of obstruction.
