Mar 23, 2014 at 0:59 comment added Jason Starr @IMeasy: "it is the cubic that I want to rationalize ..." How are you going to do that? There is certainly a dominant morphism from the corresponding fiber of $\text{ev}$ to the Segre cubic by taking the "residual 21st point". But now you have to produce a rational subvariety of the fiber of $\text{ev}$. Since this is a less concrete variety than the Segre cubic, to me this seems to go in the wrong direction.

Mar 21, 2014 at 19:40 comment added Jason Starr @IMeasy: I think it will also be difficult to rationalize the variety of degree 7 curves containing 10 nodes. Maybe the Gale transform could help . . .
Mar 21, 2014 at 18:40 comment added Jason Starr Just out of curiosity, why do you ask about this?

Mar 21, 2014 at 17:07 comment added Jim Bryan The expected dimension of the space of stable maps $M_0(P^4,7)$ is 5*7+1 = 36, and each point imposes a codimension 3 condition so I would expect the dimension of this space to be 6.
