On the representation of rational sections of the Grassmannian of lines of five dimensions
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 October 2008
Extract
The Grassmannian, 
of lines of S5 and also its sections by general spaces of 13, 12, 11 and 10 dimensions were shown to be rational by Severi. The section 
by a general S9 is, by a result of Fano, birationally equivalent to a non-singular cubic primal of S4 and hence is probably not rational.
