Abstract:
This paper determines under which conditions an algebraic variety can be uniquely (up to equivalence) represented in the form of a conic bundle. The results are used to show that many conic bundles over rational varieties are nonrational, and to construct examples of nonrational algebraic threefolds whose three-dimensional integral cohomology group is trivial.
