On Unirationality of Quartics over non Algebraically Closed Fields

Algebraic Geometry 2007-08-21 v1

Abstract

We give examples of smooth \k\k-unirational line-free quartic hypersurfaces over a non algebraically closed field \k\k. Unlike other methods of proving unirationality, our method does not rely on existence of linear spaces on quartics.
