Double cubics and double quartics

Abstract: We study a double cover

p s i : X o V s u b s e t m a t h b b P^{n}

branched over a smooth divisor

R s u b s e t V

such that

R

is cut on

V

by a hypersurface of degree

2 (n - m a t h r m d e g (V))

, where

n g e q s l a n t 8

and

V

is a smooth hypersurface of degree 3 or 4. We prove that

X

is nonrational and birationally superrigid.
