Calculating the Mordell-Weil rank of elliptic threefolds and the cohomology of singular hypersurfaces

Klaus Hulek, Remke Kloosterman (2011)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

In this paper we give a method for calculating the rank of a general elliptic curve over the field of rational functions in two variables. We reduce this problem to calculating the cohomology of a singular hypersurface in a weighted projective 4 -space. We then give a method for calculating the cohomology of a certain class of singular hypersurfaces, extending work of Dimca for the isolated singularity case.

Curves on a ruled cubic surface.

John Brevik, Francesco Mordasini (2003)

Collectanea Mathematica

For the general ruled cubic surface S (with a double line) in P3 = P3 sub k, k any algebraically closed field, we find necessary conditions for which curves on S can be the specialization of a flat family of curves on smooth cubics. In particular, no smooth curve of degree > 10 on S is such a specialization.
