Abstract

Let XX be the Fano threefold of index one, degree 2222, and Pic(X)Z\mathrm{Pic}(X)\cong\mathbb{Z}. Such a threefold XX can be realized by a regular zero section s\mathbf{s} of (2F)3(\bigwedge^2\mathcal{F}^{*})^{\oplus 3} over Grassmannian variety Gr(3,V)\mathrm{Gr}(3,V), dimV=7\dim V=7 with the universal subbundle F\mathcal{F}. When the section s\mathbf{s} is given by the net of the SL2\mathrm{SL}_2-invariant skew forms, we call it by the Mukai-Umemura (MU) variety. In this paper, we prove that the Hilbert scheme of rational quartic curves in the MU-variety is smooth and compute its Poincar\'e polynomial by applying the Bia{\l}ynicki-Birula's theorem.
