parametrizeFanoFourfold -- rational parametrization of a prime Fano fourfold of coindex at most 3

Synopsis

• Usage:

  parametrize X

  parametrizeFanoFourfold(X,Strategy=>...)

• Inputs:
  • X, an embedded projective variety, a prime Fano fourfold $X$ of coindex at most 3 having degree $d$ and genus $g$ with $(d,g)\in\{(2,0),(4,1),(5,1),(12,7),(14,8),(16,9),(18,10)\}$
• Optional inputs:
  • Strategy => ..., default value 1
• Outputs:
  • a multi-rational map, a birational map from $\mathbb{P}^4$ to $X$

Description

This function is mainly based on results contained in the classical paper Algebraic varieties with canonical curve sections, by L. Roth. In some examples, more strategies are available. For instance, if $X\subset\mathbb{P}^7$ is a 4-dimensional linear section of $\mathbb{G}(1,4)\subset\mathbb{P}^9$, then by passing Strategy=>1 (which is the default choice) we get the inverse of the projection from the plane spanned by a conic contained in $X$; while with Strategy=>2 we get the projection from the unique $\sigma_{2,2}$-plane contained in $X$ (Todd's result).
