The Abel-Jacobi map for cubic threefold and periods of Fano threefolds of degree $14$
Documenta mathematica, Tome 5 (2000), pp. 23-47
The Abe–Jacobi maps of the families of elliptic quintics and rational quartics lying on a smooth cubic threefold are studied. It is proved that their generic fiber is the 5-dimensional projective space for quintics, and a smooth 3-dimensional variety birational to the cubic itself for quartics. The paper is a continuation of the recent work of Markushevich–Tikhomirov, who showed that the first Abel–Jacobi map factors through the moduli component of stable rank 2 vector bundles on the cubic threefold with Chern numbers c1=0,c2=2 obtained by Serre's construction from elliptic quintics, and that the factorizing map from the moduli space to the intermediate Jacobian is étale. The above result implies that the degree of the étale map is 1, hence the moduli component of vector bundles is birational to the intermediate Jacobian. As an application, it is shown that the generic fiber of the period map of Fano varieties of degree 14 is birational to the intermediate Jacobian of the associated cubic threefold.
