Abstract:We exhibit new examples of rational cubic fourfolds, parametrized by a countably infinite union of codimen\-sion-two subvarieties in the moduli space. Our examples are fibered in sextic del Pezzo surfaces over the projective plane; they are rational whenever the fibration has a rational section.

We prove that every Hassett's Noether-Lefschetz divisor of special cubic fourfolds contains a union of three codimension-two subvarieties, parametrizing rational cubic fourfolds, in the moduli spaceExpand

Hilbert schemes of two points on K3 surfaces and certain rational cubic fourfolds
Abstract In this article, we check that Fano schemes of lines on certain rational cubic fourfolds are birational to Hilbert schemes of two points on K3 surfaces.

A remark on algebraic cycles on cubic fourfolds
In this short note we try to generalize the Clemens-Griffiths criterion of non-rationality for smooth cubic threefolds to the case of smooth cubic fourfolds.
Refinement of the classification of weak Fano threefolds with sextic del Pezzo fibrations
We refine the classification of weak Fano threefolds with sextic del Pezzo fibrations by considering the Hodge numbers of them. By the refined classification result, such threefolds are classifiedExpand
Rational cubic fourfolds with associated singular K3 surfaces
Generalizing a recent construction of Yang and Yu, we study to what extent one can intersect Hassett's Noether-Lefschetz divisors $\mathcal{C}_d$ in the moduli space of cubic fourfolds $\mathcal{C}$.Expand

We extend non-emtpyness and irreducibility of Hassett divisors to the moduli spaces of M -polarizable cubic fourfolds for higher rank lattices M , which in turn provides a systematic approach forExpand
Relative linear extensions of sextic del Pezzo fibrations over curves
We show that every sextic del Pezzo fibration over a curve (with a smooth total space and relative Picard rank one) is a relative linear section of a Mori fiber space with the general fiberExpand

Cubic fourfolds behave in many ways like K3 surfaces. Certain cubics - conjecturally, the ones that are rational - have specific K3s associated to them geometrically. Hassett has studied cubics withExpand
