Stable rationality of higher dimensional conic bundles

Algebraic Geometry 2023-06-22 v5

Abstract

We prove that a very general nonsingular conic bundle XPn1X\rightarrow\mathbb{P}^{n-1} embedded in a projective vector bundle of rank 33 over Pn1\mathbb{P}^{n-1} is not stably rational if the anti-canonical divisor of XX is not ample and n3n\geq 3.
