A Matsushima theorem for K-polystable polarised smooth Fano threefolds

Algebraic Geometry 2026-04-23 v1

Abstract

We prove that if XX is a smooth Fano threefold and LL is an ample Q\mathbb{Q}-divisor such that (X,L)(X,L) is K-polystable, then the automorphism group Aut(X)\operatorname{Aut}(X) is reductive. This verifies the reductivity statement predicted by the Yau--Tian--Donaldson conjecture in the setting of smooth Fano threefolds with arbitrary ample polarisation.
