On intrinsic quadrics

Algebraic Geometry 2025-07-09 v2

Abstract

An intrinsic quadric is a normal projective variety with a Cox ring defined by a single quadratic relation. We provide explicit descriptions of these varieties in the smooth case for small Picard numbers. As applications, we figure out in this setting the Fano examples and (affirmatively) test Fujita's base point free conjecture.
