Relative compactified Prym and Picard fibrations associated to very good cubic fourfolds

A very good cubic fourfold is a smooth cubic fourfold that does not contain a plane, a cubic scroll, or a hyperplane section with a corank 3 singularity. We prove that the normalization of the relative compactified Prym variety associated to the universal family of hyperplanes of a very good cubic fourfold is in fact smooth, thereby extending prior results of Laza, Saccà and Voisin. Using a similar argument, we also prove the smoothness of the normalization of the relative compactified Picard of the associated relative Fano variety of relative lines.

Abstract

A very good cubic fourfold is a smooth cubic fourfold that does not contain a plane, a cubic scroll, or a hyperplane section with a corank 3 singularity. We prove that the normalization of the relative compactified Prym variety associated to the universal family of hyperplanes of a very good cubic fourfold is in fact smooth, thereby extending prior results of Laza, Saccà and Voisin. Using a similar argument, we also prove the smoothness of the normalization of the relative compactified Picard of the associated relative Fano variety of relative lines.
