Jan 31, 2019 at 3:18 comment added Soby @Mark Alright I will take a look at those papers. Thank you very much!
Jan 30, 2019 at 16:57 comment added user47305 Check out Catanase-Oguiso-Truong, "Unirationality of Ueno-Campana’s threefold", where they prove the three-dimensional one is unirational. You might also like Oguiso & Truong, "Explicit Examples of rational and Calabi-Yau threefolds with primitive automorphisms of positive entropy", which proves the three-dimensional one is rational if you use the curve with an order 6 auto instead. For the 2-diml one I don't know a reference offhand, but I bet you can figure it out from these other papers.
Jan 30, 2019 at 16:50 comment added Soby @Mark Are there any papers giving a detailed study of this particular construction? I can't seem to find any. I can only find papers detailing constructions where they consider the quotient by an involution.
Jan 30, 2019 at 15:36 comment added user47305 The fact that it's rational needs a justification too (probably Castelnuovo's criterion). One can do the same contruction in any dimension $n$ (take the quotient of $\mathbb C/\mathbb Z[i])^n$ by the diagonal action of $i$) and I believe it's unknown for what values of $n$ the quotient is a rational variety.

Jan 29, 2019 at 11:17 comment added abx This is just basic surface theory, nothing particular to do with Kummer surfaces. Just list the fixed points of $\eta$ and $\eta^2$ and look at the action of the group on them.
