Birational rigidity is not an open property
Abstract
We construct an example of the birationally rigid complete intersection of a quadric and a cubic in 5 with an ordinary double point, which under a small deformation gives a non-rigid Fano variety. Thus we show that birational rigidity is not open in moduli.
