Ivan Cheltsov, University of Edinburgh: Which cubic 3-folds are rational?
By the beautiful theorem of Clemens and Griffiths, all smooth cubic 3-folds are irrational. On the other hand, all singular complex cubic 3-folds (except cones over smooth cubic curves) are known to be rational. In this talk, we will survey what is known about rationality of singular real cubic 3-folds - some of them are rational and some of them are irrational. This is a joint work with Yuri Tschinkel and Zhijia Zhang from New York.
