Non-factorial nodal complete intersection threefolds
We give a bound on the minimal number of singularities of a nodal projective
complete intersection threefold which contains a smooth complete intersection
surface that is not a Cartier divisor
Non-liftable Calabi-Yau spaces
We construct many new non-liftable three-dimensional Calabi-Yau spaces in
positive characteristic. The technique relies on lifting a nodal model to a
smooth rigid Calabi-Yau space over some number field as introduced by the first
author and D. van Straten.Comment: 16 pages, 5 tables; v2: minor corrections and addition
Hodge numbers of a double octic with non-isolated singularities
If B is a surface in ℙ³ of degree 8 which is the union of two smooth surfaces intersecting transversally then the double covering of ℙ³ branched along B has a non-singular model which is a Calabi-Yau manifold. The aim of this note is to compute the Hodge numbers of this manifold
