Cubic fourfolds fibered in sextic del Pezzo surfaces

Algebraic Geometry 2020-12-17 v4

Abstract

We exhibit new examples of rational cubic fourfolds, parametrized by a countably infinite union of codimension-two subvarieties in the moduli space. Our examples are fibered in sextic del Pezzo surfaces over the projective plane; they are rational whenever the fibration has a rational section.
