The topology of terminal quartic 3-folds

Algebraic Geometry 2007-07-13 v1

Abstract

In this thesis, I determine a bound on the defect of terminal Gorenstein quartic 3-folds. More generally, I study the defect of terminal Gorenstein Fano 3-folds of Picard rank 1 and genus at least 3. I state a geometric "motivation" of non Q-factoriality in the case of quartics.
