In this paper, we investigate whether the 124 nonsingular toric Fano 4-folds admit totally nondegenerate embeddings from abelian surfaces or not. As a result, we determine the possibilities for such embeddings except for the remaining 21…
In this note we consider the problem of determining which Fano manifolds can be realised as fibres of a Mori fibre space. In particular, we study the case of toric varieties, Fano manifolds with high index and some Fano manifolds with high…
Classification of planar unit-distance graphs with up to 9 edges, by homeomorphism and isomorphism classes. With exactly nine edges, there are 633 nonisomorphic connected matchstick graphs, of which 196 are topologically distinct from each…
We prove that the Fano variety of lines of a cuspidal cyclic cubic fourfold is a symplectic variety with transversal A2-singularities and we study the properties of the nonsymplectic order three automorphism induced by the covering…
We study smoothings of Fano threefolds. We prove that the Picard number remains constant in the case of terminal Gorenstein singularities.
We classify three-dimensional nodal Fano varieties that are double covers of smooth quadrics branched over intersections with quartics acted on by finite simple non-abelian groups, and study their rationality.
In this paper, an update on the classification of smooth weak Fano threefolds with Picard number two and small anti-canonical maps is given. Geometric constructions are provided for previously open numerical cases by blowing up certain…
We provide a complete classification up to isomorphism of all smooth convex lattice 3-polytopes with at most 16 lattice points. There exist in total 103 different polytopes meeting these criteria. Of these, 99 are strict Cayley polytopes…
We describe a class of toric varieties in the $N$-dimensional affine space which are minimally defined by no less than $N-2$ binomial equations.
Let $X$ be a smooth Fano threefold. We show that $X$ admits a non-isomorphic surjective endomorphism if and only if $X$ is either a toric variety or a product of $\mathbb{P}^1$ and a del Pezzo surface; in this case, $X$ is a rational…
The purpose of the present paper is to generalize Sakai's work on anticanonical models of rational surfaces to varieties of Fano type. We first prove a characterization of Fano type varieties using the singularities of anticanonical models.…
We explicitly fully describe the K-moduli space of Fano threefold family number 3.3. We first show that K-semistable Fano varieties with volume greater than 18 are Gorenstein canonical and admit general elephants, decreasing the bound on a…
We classify all 1-nodal degenerations of smooth Fano threefolds with Picard number 1 (both nonfactorial and factorial) and describe their geometry. In particular, we describe a relation between such degenerations and smooth Fano threefolds…
We study the maximum likelihood estimation problem for several classes of toric Fano models. We start by exploring the maximum likelihood degree for all $2$-dimensional Gorenstein toric Fano varieties. We show that the ML degree is equal to…
We study the varieties of reductions associated to the four Severi varieties, the first example of which is the Fano threefold of index 2 and degree 5 studied by Mukai and others. We prove that they are smooth but very special linear…
We consider the classification problem of prime $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano 3-folds with at most $1/2(1,1,1)$-singularities, which was initiated in [Taka2]. We construct two distinct classes of such 3-folds with genus one and six…
In this paper, we investigate when there exists a wild hypersurface bundle over a smooth proper toric variety in positive characteristic. In particular, we determine the possibilities for toric varieties with Picard number at most three or…
In this paper we classify n-dimensional Fano manifolds with index >=n-2 and positive second Chern character.
Based on the former parts, we classify smooth Fano threefolds of positive characteristic.
We observe a method for finding weak Landau-Ginzburg models for Fano varieties and find them for smooth Fano threefolds of genera 9, 10, and 12.
