Fano varieties are 'atomic pieces' of algebraic varieties, the shapes that can be defined by polynomial equations. We describe the role of computation and database methods in the construction and classification of Fano varieties, with an…
In an unpublished preprint, A. King conjectured that there are tilting bundles over projective varieties which are obtained as invariant quotients of affine spaces for linear actions of reductive groups. The goal of this paper is to give…
By a heuristic argument, we relate two conjectures. One is a version of Manin's conjecture about the distribution of rational points on a Fano variety. We concern specific singular Fano varieties, namely quotients of projective spaces by…
We classify families of free rational curves on all smooth Fano threefolds over the complex numbers. In particular, we prove the family of very free rational curves representing any fixed numerical curve class is either irreducible or…
In this note we study properties of partially ample line bundles on simplicial projective toric varieties. We prove that the cone of q-ample line bundles is a union of rational polyhedral cones, and calculate these cones in examples. We…
We define a new height function on rational points of a DM (Deligne-Mumford) stack over a number field. This generalizes a generalized discriminant of Ellenberg-Venkatesh, the height function recently introduced by…
We investigate Fano varieties defined over a number field that contain subvarieties whose number of rational points of bounded height is comparable to the total number on the variety.
Motivated by the study of Fano type varieties we define a new class of log pairs that we call asymptotically log Fano varieties and strongly asymptotically log Fano varieties. We study their properties in dimension two under an additional…
This is a survey on the Fano schemes of linear spaces, conics, rational curves, and curves of higher genera in smooth projective hypersurfaces, complete intersections, Fano threefolds, etc.
We exhibit a large class of quiver moduli spaces which are Fano varieties, by studying line bundles on quiver moduli and their global sections in general, and work out several classes of examples, comprising moduli spaces of point…
We investigate in a statistical fashion the smallest height of a rational point on a Fano hypersurface defined over the field of rational numbers. Along the way, we establish an average version of Manin's conjecture about the number of…
We classify Fano 3-folds with canonical Gorenstein singularities whose anticanonical linear system has no base points but does not give an embedding, and we classify anticanonically embedded Fano 3-folds with canonical Gorenstein…
We study the asymptotic behavior of quantized Ding functionals along Bergman geodesic rays and prove that the slope at infinity can be expressed in terms of Donaldson-Futaki invariants and Chow weights. Based on the slope formula, we…
We give formulas for various valuative invariants of linearized ample line bundles on a projective spherical variety. Then we show how to use these formulas to study $g$-solitons on a Fano spherical variety. As a corollary, we show that for…
In statistical inference problems, we wish to obtain lower bounds on the minimax risk, that is to bound the performance of any possible estimator. A standard technique to obtain risk lower bounds involves the use of Fano's inequality. In an…
We study the geometry of the Fano schemes $\mathrm{\textbf{F}}_{k}(\mathrm{SD}_n^r)$ of the projective variety $\mathrm{SD}_n^r$ defined by the $r\times r$ minors of a symmetric $n\times n$ matrix filled with indeterminates. These schemes…
We show that the minimal log discrepancy of any isolated Fano cone singularity is at most the dimension of the variety. This is based on its relation with dimensions of moduli spaces of orbifold rational curves. We also propose a…
In this paper, we give some results on the birational geometry of varieties of Fano type and boundedness problems in positive characteristic, including a result ensuring that boundedness is invariant under normalizations, a canonical bundle…
In a work of Costa and Mir\'{o}-Roig state the following conjecture: Every smooth complete toric Fano variety has a full strongly exceptional collection of line bundles. The goal of this article is to prove it for toric Fano 3-folds.
We study the Picard rank of smooth toric Fano varieties possessing families of minimal rational curves of given degree. We discuss variants of a conjecture of Chen-Fu-Hwang and prove a version of their statement that recovers the original…
