Two rational nodal quartic threefolds

Algebraic Geometry 2016-04-05 v3

Abstract

We prove that the quartic threefolds defined by i=05xi=i=05xi4t(i=05xi2)2=0 \sum_{i=0}^{5}x_i=\sum_{i=0}^{5}x_i^4-t\left(\sum_{i=0}^{5}x_i^2\right)^2=0 in P5\mathbb{P}^5 are rational for t=16t=\frac{1}{6} and t=710t=\frac{7}{10}.
