We prove that these cubics form a divisor in the moduli space of cubic fourfolds and that this divisor is not a Noether-Lefschetz divisor. We use this result to prove that there is no nontrivial Hodge correspondence between a very general cubic and its VSP.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2013-09-19T19:04:13.000Z", "comment": "33 pages, minor edits, introduction expanded", "journal": null, "doi": null }, { "version": "v3", "updated": "2017-02-11T12:32:28.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14J70", "14M15", "14N99" ], "keywords": [ "cubic fourfold", "moduli space", "nontrivial hodge correspondence", "power sums vsp", "general cubic" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 42, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1309.1899R" } } }
