The symmetric projective varieties of rank one are all smooth and Fano by a classic result of Akhiezer. We classify the locally factorial (respectively smooth) projective symmetric $G$-varieties of rank 2 which are Fano. When $G$ is…

We prove that a weak Fano manifold has unobstructed deformations. For a general variety, we investigate conditions under which a variety is necessarily obstructed.

In this paper we consider double covers of the projective space in relation with the problem of extensions of varieties, specifically of extensions of canonical curves to $K3$ surfaces and Fano 3-folds. In particular we consider $K3$…

Fano fibrations arise naturally in the birational classification of algebraic varieties. We show that these morphisms always induce a semiorthogonal decomposition on the derived category of the fibred space, extending classic results such…

We give a characterization theorem for non-degenerated plane foliations of degree different from 1 having a rational first integral. Moreover, we prove that the degree $r$ of a non-degenerated foliation as above provides the minimum number,…

We show that being a general fibre of a Mori fibre space is a rather restrictive condition for a Fano variety. More specifically, we obtain two criteria (one sufficient and one necessary) for a Q-factorial Fano variety with terminal…

Generic flexibility of affine cones over Fano varieties is a subject of active study recently. For del Pezzo surfaces the question is completely studied in degree at least 3, and partially in degree 2. We present a Sagemath module that…

In this paper, we study the explicit geometry of threefolds, in particular, Fano varieties. We find an explicitly computable positive integer $N$, such that all but a bounded family of Fano threefolds have $N$-complements. This result has…

Given a vector bundle $\mathcal E$ on a smooth projective variety $B$, the flag bundle $\mathcal F l(1,2,\mathcal E)$ admits two projective bundle structures over the Grassmann bundles $\mathcal G r(1, \mathcal E)$ and $G r(2, \mathcal E)$.…

Let Y be a smooth del Pezzo surface of degree 3 polarized by a very ample divisor that is not proportional to the anticanonical one. Then the affine cone over Y is flexible in codimension one. Equivalently, such a cone has an open subset…

This thesis is concerned with equidistant foliations of Euclidean space, i.e. partitions into complete, connected, properly embedded smooth submanifolds. The space of leaves is an Alexandrov space of nonnegative curvature and the canonical…

We classify Fano threefolds with only terminal singularities whose canonical class is Cartier and divisible by 2, and satisfying an additional assumption that the $G$-invariant part of the Weil divisor class group is of rank 1 with respect…

In this paper, we give the complete classification of full exceptional collections on smooth toric Fano threefolds and fourfolds with Picard rank two. To be precise, we give a partial answer to the conjecture in \cite{Kuz} and \cite{LYY}:…

We classify smooth del Pezzo surfaces whose alpha-invariant of Tian is bigger than one.

We give examples of Fano varieties $X$ with Picard number 1, which have terminal singularities and admit endomorphisms with degree larger than 1.

Let X be a smooth, complex Fano 4-fold, and rho(X) its Picard number. We show that if rho(X)>12, then X is a product of del Pezzo surfaces. The proof relies on a careful study of divisorial elementary contractions f: X->Y such that the…

We generalize the definition of alpha invariant to arbitrary codimension. We also give a lower bound of these alpha invariants for K-semistable Q-Fano varieties and show that we can characterize projective spaces among all K-semistable Fano…

In this article, we focus on a very special class of foliations with complex leaves whose diffeomorphism type is fixed. They have a unique compact leaf and the noncompact leaves all accumulate onto it. We show that the complex structure…

In this paper we construct a full exceptional collection of sheaves on some family of log Del Pezzo surfaces, viewed as a smooth stack. These surfaces can be embedded as a quasi-smooth hypersurfaces into a certain weighted projective space,…

We consider a class of foliations on the complex projective plane that are determined by a quadratic vector field in a fixed affine neighborhood. Such foliations, as a rule, have an invariant line at infinity. Two foliations with…
