Abstract

In this paper, we investigate K-polystability on smooth complex Fano 4-folds with Lefschetz defect at least 2, focusing on the case of Lefschetz defect 3 and on Casagrande-Druel Fano 4-folds with Lefschetz defect 2. We show that exactly 5 of the 19 families of Fano 4-folds with Lefschetz defect 3 are K-polystable. Moreover, among 175 families of Casagrande-Druel Fano 4-folds with Lefschetz defect 2, we prove that 5 are K-polystable, while 132 are K-unstable.
