Nonrationality of nodal quartic threefolds

Kyusik Hong

Vol. 266 (2013), No. 1, 31–42
Abstract

We prove the factoriality of every nodal quartic threefold with 13 singular points that contains neither planes nor quadric surfaces. As a corollary, any nodal quartic threefold with 13 singular points that contains neither planes nor quadric surfaces is nonrational.

Keywords
factoriality, rationality, nodal quartic threefold
