Abstract
Recent results of Hassett, Kuznetsov and others pointed out countably many divisors in the open subset of parametrizing all cubic 4-folds and lead to the conjecture that the cubics corresponding to these divisors should be precisely the rational ones. Rationality has been proved by Fano for the first divisor and in [arXiv:1707.00999] for the divisors and . In this note we describe explicit birational maps from a general cubic fourfold in , in and in to , providing concrete geometric realizations of the more abstract constructions in [arXiv:1707.00999].
