Rational cubic fourfolds with associated singular K3 surfaces

Abstract

Generalizing a recent construction of Yang and Yu, we study to what extent one can intersect Hassett's Noether-Lefschetz divisors Cd\mathcal{C}_d in the moduli space of cubic fourfolds C\mathcal{C}. In particular, we exhibit arithmetic conditions on 20 indexes d1,,d20d_1,\dots, d_{20} that assure that the divisors Cd1,,Cd20\mathcal{C}_{d_1},\dots,\mathcal{C}_{d_{20}} all intersect one another. This allows us to produce examples of rational cubic fourfolds with an associated K3 surface with rank 20 N\'eron-Severi group, i.e. a singular K3 surface.
