Some examples of non-smoothable Gorenstein Fano toric threefolds

Algebraic Geometry 2021-09-02 v2

Abstract

We present a combinatorial criterion on reflexive polytopes of dimension 3 which gives a local-to-global obstruction for the smoothability of the corresponding Fano toric threefolds. As a result, we show examples of singular Gorenstein Fano toric threefolds which have compound Du Val, hence smoothable, singularities but are not smoothable.
