Abstract
In this paper we study properties of the locus of second type lines of a general cubic threefold and fourfold. By analysing the geometry of the Fano scheme of lines of the Fermat cubic fourfold and in particular giving an explicit description of the locus of second type lines, we deduce that the Voisin map is birational over the second type locus. For a general cubic threefold, by studying properties of the second type locus again, we compute that various natural geometric monodromy groups are the full symmetric group.
