Abstract: We study the moduli space of pairs consisting of a smooth cubic surface and a smooth hyperplane section, via a Hodge theoretic period map due to Laza, Pearlstein, and the second named author. The construction associates to such a pair a so-called Eckardt cubic threefold, admitting an involution, and the period map sends the pair to the anti-invariant part of the intermediate Jacobian of this cubic threefold, with respect to this involution. Our main result is that the global Torelli theorem holds for this period map; i.e., the period map is injective. To prove the result, we describe the anti-invariant part of the intermediate Jacobian as a Prym variety of a branched cover. Our proof uses results of Naranjo-Ortega, Bardelli-Ciliberto-Verra, and Nagaraj-Ramanan, on related Prym maps. In fact, we are able to recover the degree of one of these Prym maps by describing positive dimensional fibers, in the same spirit as a result of Donagi-Smith on the degree of the Prym map for connected 'etale double covers of genus 6 curves.
