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 classify three-dimensional Fano varieties with canonical Gorenstein singularities of degree bigger than 64.

We provide a systematic method to classify all smooth weak Fano toric varieties of Picard rank $3$ in any dimension using Macaulay2, and describe the classification explicitly in dimensions $3$ and $4$. There are $28$ and $114$ isomorphism…

Let X be a smooth, complex Fano 4-fold, and rho(X) its Picard number. If X contains a prime divisor D with rho(X)-rho(D)>2, then either X is a product of del Pezzo surfaces, or rho(X)=5 or 6. In this setting, we completely classify the case…

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.

In this paper, we prove that for a threefold of Fano type $X$ and a movable $\mathbb{Q}$-Cartier Weil divisor $D$ on $X$, the number of smooth varieties that arise during the running of a $D$-MMP is bounded by $1 + h^1(X, 2D)$.…

The main object of the present paper is a numerical criterion determining when a Weil divisor of a $\Q$--factorial complete toric variety admits a positive multiple Cartier divisor which is either numerically effective (nef) or ample. It is…

We show that the Picard rank is constant in families of Fano varieties (in arbitrary characteristic) and we moreover investigate the constancy of the index.

This paper proposes the use of $F$-split and globally $F$-regular conditions in the pursuit of BAB type results in positive characteristic. The main technical work comes in the form of a detailed study of threefold Mori fibre spaces over…

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…

We classify birationally rigid orbifold Fano 3-folds of index one defined by $5 \times 5$ Pfaffians. We give a sharp criterion for birational rigidity of these families based on the type of singularities that the varieties admit. Various…

A normal projective variety X is called Fano if a multiple of the anticanonical Weil divisor, -K_X, is an ample Cartier divisor, the index of a Fano variety is the number i(X):=sup{t: -K_X= tH, for some ample Cartier divisor H}. Mukai…

We prove a characterization of Fano type varieties.

We give an explicit description of all smooth varieties with a torus action of complexity one having Picard number at most two. As a consequence, we classify in every dimension the smooth (almost) Fano varieties with a torus action of…

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…

In our previous work we conjectured - inspired by an algebro-geometric result of Fujita - that the height of an arithmetic Fano variety X of relative dimension $n$ is maximal when X is the projective space $\mathbb{P}^n_{\mathbb{Z}}$ over…

We prove that the variety of complete flags for any semisimple algebraic group is rigid in any smooth family of Fano manifolds.

We complete the study of birational geometry of Fano fiber spaces $\pi\colon V\to {\mathbb P}^1$, the fiber of which is a Fano double hypersurface of index 1. For each family of these varieties we either prove birational rigidity or produce…

We prove the Yau-Tian-Donaldson's conjecture for any $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano variety that has a log smooth resolution of singularities such that the discrepancies of all exceptional divisors are non-positive. In other words, if such a Fano…

We prove that a smooth projective variety $X$ of dimension $n$ with strictly nef third, fourth or $(n-1)$-th exterior power of the tangent bundle is a Fano variety. Moreover, in the first two cases, we provide a classification for $X$ under…
