Abstract

For every n2n\geq 2, we exhibit an nn-dimensional K-polystable toric Q\mathbb{Q}-Fano variety XnX_n, defined by the face fan of an explicit lattice polytope, and whose alpha invariant is exactly 22n+1\tfrac{2}{2n+1}. This answers a question of Liu and Zhuang whether there exists an nn-dimensional K-semistable Q\mathbb{Q}-Fano variety whose alpha invariant is between 1n+1\tfrac{1}{n+1} and 1n\tfrac1n. The main result of this paper was obtained by Chatgpt 5.5 pro, and the Danus system based on the Rethlas system.
