Algebraic Geometry 2020-08-07 v3

Abstract

We prove that a very general complex hypersurface of degree n+1n+1 in Pn+1\mathbb{P}^{n+1} containing an rr-plane with multiplicity mm is not stably rational for n3n \ge 3, m,r>0m, r > 0 and nm+rn \ge m+r. We also investigate failure of stable rationality of a very general hypersurface of degree n+1n+1 in Pn+1\mathbb{P}^{n+1} admitting several isolated ordinary double points.
