Abstract:
After a brief survey of known approaches to the proof of irrationality, I will present a new arithmetic proof of the irrationality of a generic cubic 3-fold, a result which was originally proved in 1972 by Clemens--Griffiths using transcendental methods. This is a joint work with Xavier Roulleau.
