Segre embedding and intersections by hyperplanes

Consider the Segre embedding $$ \mathbb{P}^2 \times \mathbb{P}^2 \to \mathbb{P}^8.$$ Denote by $V$ the image of the Segre embedding and by $B$ the locus of triples $(H_1, H_2, H_3)$ with $H_i \in H^0( …

Deformation invariance of rational connectedness in positive/mixed characteristic

Let $f:X \to S$ be a smooth morphism and $S$ the spectrum of a discrete valuation ring. If the generic fiber of $f$ is rationally (chain) connected then is the special fiber of $f$ also rationally (ch …
