We classify the irreducible components of the space of foliations on Fano 3-folds with rank one Picard group. As a corollary we obtain a classification of holomorphic Poisson structures on the same class of 3-folds.

We show that five of Reid's Fano 3-fold hyperurfaces containing at least one compound Du Val singularity of type $cA_n$ have pliability at least two. The two elements of the pliability set are the singular hypersurface itself, and another…

We classify toric Fano threefolds having at worst terminal singularities such that a rank of a $G$-invariant part of a class group equals one, where $G$ is a group acting on the variety by automorphisms.

We prove that all smooth Fano threefolds with Picard rank 2 and degree 28 are K-polystable, except for some explicit cases which we describe. We also give a classification of the normal bundle of a rational normal quartic curve in a smooth…

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…

We discuss various results on Hilbert schemes of lines and conics and automorphism groups of smooth Fano threefolds with Picard rank 1. Besides a general review of facts well known to experts, the paper contains some new results, for…

In this paper we prove that any smooth prime Fano threefold, different from the Mukai-Umemura threefold, contains a 1-dimensional family of intersecting lines. Combined with a result of the second author (see J. Algebr. Geom. 8:2 (1999),…

We find all K-stable smooth Fano threefolds in the family No. 2.22.

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…

We study two rational Fano threefolds with an action of the icosahedral group $\mathfrak{A}_5$. The first one is the famous Burkhardt quartic threefold, and the second one is the double cover of the projective space branched in the Barth…

We prove that the degree of Fano threefolds with terminal Q-factorial singularities and Picard number one is at most 125/2 and the bound is sharp.

This is the unabridged web version of the paper that will be published on the American Journal of Mathematics. In this paper, we study the birational geometry of certain examples of mildly singular quartic 3-folds. A quartic 3-fold is an…

We construct one-parameter complex analytic families whose special fibers are complete toric varieties. Under some assumptions, the general fibers of these families also become toric varieties and we can explicitly describe the…

We prove the Shafarevich conjecture for Fano threefolds of Picard rank 1, index 1 and degree 4.

We study some symplectic geometric aspects of rationally connected 4-folds. As a corollary, we prove that any smooth projective 4-fold symplectic deformation equivalent to a Fano 4-fold of pseudo-index at least 2 or a rationally connected…

Let X be an $n$-dimensional Fano manifold of Picard number 1. We study how many different ways X can compactify the complex vector group C^n equivariantly. Hassett and Tschinkel showed that when X = P^n with n \geq 2, there are many…

In this article, we determine all equivariant compactifications of the three-dimensional vector group $\mathbf{G}_a^3$ which are smooth Fano threefolds with Picard number greater or equal than two.

We classify Q-Fano threefolds of Fano index > 2 and big degree.

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

A projective log variety (X, D) is called "a log Fano manifold" if X is smooth and if D is a reduced simple normal crossing divisor on X with -(K_X+D) ample. The n-dimensional log Fano manifolds (X, D) with nonzero D are classified in this…
