If we fix the angles at the vertices of a convex planar $n$-gon, the lengths of its edges must satisfy two linear constraints in order for it to close up. If we also require unit perimeter, our vectors of $n$ edge lengths form a convex…

For $n\geq 4$, let $X$ be a complex smooth Fano $n$-fold whose minimal anticanonical degree of non-free rational curves on $X$ is at least $n-2$. We classify extremal contractions of such varieties. As an application, we obtain a…

We study proportions of consecutive occurrences of permutations of a given size. Specifically, the feasible limits of such proportions on large permutations form a region, called feasible region. We show that this feasible region is a…

Symmetric edge polytopes of graphs are important object in Ehrhart theory,and have an application to Kuramoto models. In the present paper, we study the upper and lower bounds for the number of facets of symmetric edge polytopes of…

We give new proofs of the K-polystability of two smooth Fano threefolds. One of them is a~smooth divisor in $\mathbb{P}^1\times\mathbb{P}^1\times\mathbb{P}^2$ of degree $(1,1,1)$, which is unique up to isomorphism. Another one is the~blow…

We prove that the number of vertices of a polytope of a particular kind is exponentially large in the dimension of the polytope. As a corollary, we prove that an n-dimensional centrally symmetric polytope with O(n) facets has 2^{Omega(n)}…

Unlike the situation in the classical theory of convex polytopes, there is a wealth of semi-regular abstract polytopes, including interesting examples exhibiting some unexpected phenomena. We prove that even an equifacetted semi-regular…

We state a number of conjectures that together allow one to classify a broad class of del Pezzo surfaces with cyclic quotient singularities using mirror symmetry. We prove our conjectures in the simplest cases. The conjectures relate…

In 2012 Gubeladze (Adv.\ Math.\ 2012) introduced the notion of k-convex-normal polytopes to show that integral polytopes all of whose edges are longer than 4d(d+1) have the integer decomposition property. In the first part of this paper we…

In Rothvo\ss{} it was shown that there exists a 0/1 polytope (a polytope whose vertices are in \{0,1\}^{n}) such that any higher-dimensional polytope projecting to it must have 2^{\Omega(n)} facets, i.e., its linear extension complexity is…

In this short note we show that the closed cone of moving curves of a smooth Fano-threefold is polyhedral. The proof relies on a famous result of Bucksom, Demailly, Paun and Peternell which says that the strongly movable cone is dual to the…

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…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety defined over a finite field. We show that any algebraic $1$-cycle on $X$ is rationally equivalent to a smooth $1$-cycle, which is a $\mathbb{Z}$-linear combination of smooth curves on $X$. We also…

We obtain the exhaustive list of 337 faithful spherical actions of rank two or less on locally factorial Fano manifolds of dimension four or less. As a preliminary step, we determine the explicit list of spherical homogeneous spaces of…

The symmetric edge polytope of a simple graph is a lattice polytope defined as the convex hull of a subset of the type A roots corresponding to the edges of the graph. In this article we prove a sharp lower bound for the number of edges of…

We investigate structural properties of the cone of roots of relative Steiner polynomials of convex bodies. We prove that they are closed, monotonous with respect to the dimension, and that they cover the whole upper half-plane, except the…

The Manin-Peyre conjecture is established for a class of smooth spherical Fano varieties of semisimple rank one. This includes all smooth spherical Fano threefolds of type T as well as some higher-dimensional smooth spherical Fano…

The correspondence between Gorenstein Fano toric varieties and reflexive polytopes has been generalized by Ilten and S\"u{\ss} to a correspondence between Gorenstein Fano complexity-one $T$-varieties and Fano divisorial polytopes. Motivated…

A lattice polytope translated by a rational vector is called an almost integral polytope. In this paper we investigate Ehrhart quasi-polynomials of almost integral polytopes. We study the relationship between the shape of the polytopes and…

Suppose that X is a Fano manifold that corresponds under Mirror Symmetry to a Laurent polynomial f, and that P is the Newton polytope of f. In this setting it is expected that there is a family of algebraic varieties over the unit disc with…
