The universal cover of the second-type locus of a cubic
Abstract
We prove that the surface of second-type lines on a general cubic fourfold has fundamental group of order two. Its universal cover, constructed by Huybrechts, is obtained by considering the two ramification points of the Gauss map along each second-type line.
