Abstract

We complete the analysis on the birational rigidity of quasismooth Fano 3-fold deformation families appearing in the Graded Ring Database as a complete intersection. When such a deformation family XX has Fano index at least 2 and is minimally embedded in a weighted projective space in codimension 2, we determine which cyclic quotient singularity is a maximal centre. If a cyclic quotient singularity is a maximal centre, we construct a Sarkisov link to a non-isomorphic Mori fibre space or a birational involution. This allows, in particular, the construction of new examples of Fano 3-folds of codimension 6 which are realised as complete intersections in fake weighted projective spaces. We define linear cyclic quotient singularities on XX and prove that these are maximal centres by explicitly computing Sarkisov links centred at them. It turns out that each XX has a linear cyclic quotient singularity leading to a new birational model. As a consequence, we show that if XX is birationally rigid then its Fano index is 1. If the new birational model is a strict Mori fibre space, we determine its fibration type explicitly. In this case, a general member of XX is birational to a del Pezzo fibration of degrees 1, 2 or 3 or to a conic bundle Y/SY/S where SS is a weighted projective plane with at most A2A_2 singularities.
