Q-factorial quartic threefolds

Algebraic Geometry 2008-03-31 v2

Abstract

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