A new model for the theta divisor of the cubic threefold

In this paper we give a birational model for the theta divisor of the intermediate Jacobian of a generic cubic threefold <em>X</em> . We use the standard realization of <em>X</em> as a conic bundle and a 4−dimensional family of plane quartics which are totally tangent to the...
