Birational geometry is a field of algebraic geometry the goal of which is to determine when two algebraic varieties are isomorphic outside lower-dimensional subsets. This amounts to studying mappings that are given by rational functions rather than polynomials; the map may fail to be defined where the rational functions have poles.

Behaviour of (principal) polarizations of (singular) surfaces under birational maps

Assume we have two p.p. simple abelian surfaces $(A_i,D_i)$, i=1,2, over $\mathbb{C}$ with the following commutative diagram: $\require{AMScd} \begin{CD} A_1 @>{birational}>> A_2\\ @V{2:1}VV @VV{2:1} …

Can Kummer surfaces coming from the same abelian surface be Cremona equivalent / isomorphic?

Assume we are given a simple abelian surface $A$ which has 2 non-equivalent principal polarizations $D_1$ and $D_2$ in $NS(A)$ (up to isomorphism), thus giving rise to two non-isomorphic smooth projec …

How much information is encoded in the Jacobian-Kummer K3 surface of a curve of genus two?

Assume we work over $\mathbb{C}$. Let $S\subset \mathbb{P}^3$ be a quartic surfaces with 16 nodes (ordinary double points). Then there is a simple principally polarized abelian surface $(A,\theta)$ …

How to test if these two threefolds are birationally equivalent?

Assume we have the projective plane $\mathbb{A}^2=Spec(\mathbb{C}[r,s])$. Now take the projective plane over this affine plane $\mathbb{P}^2_{\mathbb{A}^2}$ with homogenous coordinates $[u:v:w]$. Def …

Which blow ups in the base of a conic bundle preserve the "standard" condition?

Assume we are given a nontrivial standard conic bundle $\pi: X\rightarrow S$, that is $X$ and $S$ are smooth projective varieties (say over $\mathbb{C}$), $\pi$ is flat and furthermore we have $Pic(X) …

Are two conic bundles birational, if their bases are birational via a map preserving the ass...

Assume we have two standard conic bundles $\pi:C \rightarrow X$ and $\pi': C'\rightarrow X'$. That is $\pi$ and $\pi'$ are flat morphims of smooth varieties over $\mathbb{C}$ and both maps are relativ …

Can one control the ramification of a Brauer class under birational morphisms?

Assume we are given a Brauer class $\xi\in Br(k(\mathbb{P}^n))$ ramified at some divisor $D\subset \mathbb{P}^n$, here $k=\mathbb{C}$. If $f: \mathbb{P}^n\mathrel{-\,}\rightarrow \mathbb{P}^n$ is a b …
