Abstract:
In 1971 Artin and Mumford has constructed an example of non-rational
unirational variety. Namely they showed that the torsion subgroup in
$H^3(X,Z)$ is a birational invariant for a smooth variety $X$ and
described a nodal quartic double solid such that its resolution of
singularities admits a non-trivial 2-torsion subgroup in third
cohomologies. I will tell about nodal sextic double solids, describe
four families of such varieties with non-trivial obstruction of
Artin-Mumford type for a general element in each family and show that
there is no sextic double solid with non-trivial obstruction outside these families.
