Algebraic Geometry 2026-02-13 v3

Abstract

Let XX be a smooth complex prime Fano fourfold having a semi-free action of C\mathbb{C}^*, then XX is contained in one of the families P4,Q4,W5,X8m\mathbb{P}^4,Q^4,W_5, X^{m}_{8}. All of the families contain members that have a semi-free C\mathbb{C}^*-action.

Comments

44 pages. In the symplectic result Theorem C the assumption that M is simply connected is needed. Since smooth Fano varieties are simply connected, the proof of the algebraic results Theorem A and Theorem B are not affected. In addition, some misprints are corrected and minor expositional changes are made
