On irrationality of surfaces in P3

Abstract: The degree of irrationality irr(X) of a n-dimensional complex projective variety X is the least degree of a dominant rational map X P n . It is a well-known fact that given a product X × P m or a n-dimensional variety Y dominating X, their degrees of irrationality may be smaller than the degree of irrationality of X. In this paper, we focus on smooth surfaces S ⊂ P 3 of degree d ≥ 5, and we prove that irr(S × P m ) = irr(S) for any integer m ≥ 0, whereas irr(Y ) < irr(S) occurs for some Y dominating S if and o… Show more

“…The purpose of this note is to study various measures of irrationality for hypersurfaces in projective spaces which were proposed recently by [4], [1]. In particular, we answer the question raised by Bastianelli that if X ⊂ P n+1 is a very general smooth hypersurface of dimension n and degree d ≥ 2n + 2, then stab.irr(X) = uni.irr(X) = d − 1.…”

“…, whose degeneracy locus is thus given by a linear form of degree n on P 1 . Since a general fiber doesn't lie in the ramification locus, we must have l · K W ′ /P = n. 1 Notice that even though we are working on an open variety, this intersection product still makes sense because we are intersecting a divisor with the fiber of a proper map. 2 Bastianelli pointed out to me that it is possible to avoid this assertion by passing to the Grassmannian and argue as in [4].…”
