Equivariant geometry of odd-dimensional complete intersections of two quadrics

Abstract

Fix a finite group GG. We seek to classify varieties with GG-action equivariantly birational to a representation of GG on affine or projective space. Our focus is odd-dimensional smooth complete intersections of two quadrics, relating the equivariant rationality problem with analogous Diophantine questions over nonclosed fields. We explore how invariants -- both classical cohomological invariants and recent symbol constructions -- control rationality in some cases.
