Q-factorial Quartic Threefolds

چکیده
We prove that a nodal quartic threefold X containing no planes is Q-factorial provided that it has not more than 12 singular points, with the exception of a quartic with exactly 12 sin-gularities containing a quadric surface. We give some geometrical constructions related to the latter quartic.

Nonrational Nodal Quartic Threefolds
The Q-factoriality of a nodal quartic 3-fold implies its non-rationality. We prove that a nodal quartic 3-fold with at most 8 nodes is Q-factorial, and we show that a nodal quartic 3-fold with 9 nodes is not Q-factorial if and only if it contains a plane. However, there are non-rational non-Q-factorial nodal quartic 3-folds in P. In particular, we prove the non-rationality of a general non-Q-fa...
متن کاملBirational Geometry of Quartic 3-folds Ii: the Importance of Being Q-factorial
The paper explores the birational geometry of terminal quartic 3-folds. In doing this I develop a new approach to study maximal singularities with positive dimensional centers. This allows to determine the pliability of a Q-factorial quartic with ordinary double points, and it shows the importance of Q-factoriality in the context of birational geometry of uniruled 3-folds.
متن کاملBirational Automorphisms of Nodal Quartic Threefolds
It is well-known that a nonsingular minimal cubic surface is birationally rigid; the group of its birational selfmaps is generated by biregular selfmaps and birational involutions such that all relations between the latter are implied by standard relations between reflections on an elliptic curve. It is also known that a factorial nodal quartic threefold is birationally rigid and its group of b...
متن کاملOn Some Moduli Spaces of Stable Vector Bundles on Cubic and Quartic Threefolds
We study certain moduli spaces of stable vector bundles of rank two on cubic and quartic threefolds. In many cases under consideration, it turns out that the moduli space is complete and irreducible and a general member has vanishing intermediate cohomology. In one case, all except one component of the moduli space has such vector bundles.
متن کاملBirational Rigidity and Q-factoriality of a Singular Double Quadric
We prove birational rigidity and calculate the group of birational automorphisms of a nodal Q-factorial double cover X of a smooth three-dimensional quadric branched over a quartic section. We also prove that X is Q-factorial provided that it has at most 11 singularities; moreover, we give an example of a non-Q-factorial variety of this type with 12 simple double singularities.
