Abstract
Are Fourier--Mukai equivalent cubic fourfolds birationally equivalent? We obtain an affirmative answer to this question for very general cubic fourfolds of discriminant 20, where we produce birational maps via the Cremona transformation defined by the Veronese surface. Moreover, by studying how these maps act on the cubics known to be rational, we found new rational examples.
