Abstract: Let X be a scroll over a rational surface. We construct a linear system of surfaces in P^3 yielding a birational map from P^3 to X. We apply this construction to the scrolls of Bordiga and Palatini.

Review text

Let \(X\subset\mathbb{P}^r\) be a normal threefold which is a scroll over a rational surface. Then \(X\) is a rational variety. In this paper the authors expose a method to determine a \(r\)-dimensional linear system \(|\Sigma |\) of surfaces in \(\mathbb{P}^3\) such that the rational map \(f:\mathbb{P}^3 \to \mathbb{P}^r\) associated to \(|\Sigma|\) maps \(\mathbb{P}^3\) birationally onto \(X\). The interest for this problem arose when studying smooth threefolds of \(\mathbb{P}^5\). It is interesting to note that the birational maps from \(\mathbb{P}^3\) to the Bordiga scroll obtained in this paper and maps from \(\mathbb{P}^5\) are different. Therefore, by composition, the authors obtain elements of the Cremona group of \(\mathbb{P}^3\), given in general by surfaces of degree 5 and 7. For special choices made in the construction of the maps, classical cube-cubic transformations are given.
