We also show that the condition #|Sing(X)| < 15 implies Q-factoriality of X. In particular, every double cover of P^3 with at most 14 simple double points is non-rational and not birationally isomorphic to a conic bundle. All the birational transformations of X into elliptic fibrations and into Fano 3-folds with canonical singularities are classified. We consider some relevant problems over fields of finite characteristic. When X is defined over a number field F we prove that the set of rational points on the 3-fold X is potentially dense if Sing(X) is not empty.53 pagesAlgebraic GeometryNumber Theory14E05; 14E08; 14G15; 14J17; 14J45text
