Which quartic double solids are rational?

Abstract: We study the rationality problem for nodal quartic double solids. In particular, we prove that nodal quartic double solids with at most six singular points are irrational, and nodal quartic double solids with at least eleven singular points are rational.

“…This implies that π1(Bun s (C/ι)) coincides with the fundamental group of a (small) resolution of Bun ss (C/ι). Further, Bun ss (C/ι) is rational by [46,Theorem 2.2] or [8,Theorem 1.3]; see also [43, §5.4.2 and §5.5], where a small resolution of Bun ss (C/ι) is denoted Bun ss…”
