Double Cubics and Double Quartics
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we study a double cover ψ : X → V ⊂ P branched over a smooth divisor S ⊂ V such that n ≥ 7, the degree of V is 3 or 4, and S is cut on the hypersurface V by a hypersurface of degree 2(n− deg(V )). The variety X is rationally connected, because it is a smooth Fano variety. We prove that X is birationally superrigid. In particular, the variety X is nonrational.

Asymptotics for Length and Trajectory from Cumulative Chord Piecewise-Quartics
We discuss the problem of estimating the trajectory of a regular curve γ : [0, T ] → R and its length d(γ) from an ordered sample of interpolation points Qm = {γ(t0), γ(t1), . . . , γ(tm)}, with tabular points t′is unknown, coined as interpolation of unparameterized data. The respective convergence orders for estimating γ and d(γ) with cumulative chord piecewise-quartics are established for dif...
متن کاملOn cubics and quartics through a canonical curve
We construct families of quartic and cubic hypersurfaces through a canonical curve, which are parametrized by an open subset in a Grassmannian and a Flag variety respectively. Using G. Kempf’s cohomological obstruction theory, we show that these families cut out the canonical curve and that the quartics are birational (via a blowing-up of a linear subspace) to quadric bundles over the projectiv...
متن کاملGalois Groups of Cubics and Quartics (not in Characteristic 2)
We will describe a procedure for figuring out the Galois groups of separable irreducible polynomials in degrees 3 and 4 over fields not of characteristic 2. This does not include explicit formulas for the roots, i.e., we are not going to derive the classical cubic and quartic formulas.
متن کاملThe Characteristic Numbers of Quartic Plane Curves
The characteristic numbers of smooth plane quartics are computed using intersection theory on a component of the moduli space of stable maps. This completes the verification of Zeuthen’s prediction of characteristic numbers of smooth plane curves. A short sketch of a computation of the characteristic numbers of plane cubics is also given as an illustration.
متن کاملEla a Remark on Waring Decompositions of Some Special Plane Quartics∗
Motivated by questions on tensor rank, this work concerns the following unexpected result concerning Waring decompositions of plane quartics containing a double line, along with some preparatory and additional remarks. Let x, l1, . . . , l7 be linear forms and q a quadratic form on a vector space of dimension 3. If xq = l 1 + · · · + l 7 and the lines l1 = 0, . . ., l7 = 0 in P intersect x = 0 ...
