Abstract
Let be a smooth -dimensional Fano hypersurface in where . Let be a smooth positive-dimensional complete intersection of , a hypersurface and one of more hyperplanes in . Let be the blowup of along . Let be the blowup of along . We describe the Mori chamber decomposition of and its associated birational models. In particular, we show that is a Mori dream space. We classify for which and the variety is a Fano manifold and, if is a hyperplane, we classify the elementary Sarkisov links initiated by . Finally, we use this Mori chamber decomposition above to prove that certain Fano manifolds as above do not admit a K\"ahler-Einstein metric.
