We construct exceptional Fano varieties with the smallest known minimal log discrepancies in all dimensions. These varieties are well-formed hypersurfaces in weighted projective space. Their minimal log discrepancies decay doubly…

In this paper we give a new and simplified proof of the variational Hodge conjecture for complete intersection cycles on a hypersurface in projective space.

A variety is rationally connected if two general points can be joined by a rational curve. A higher version of this notion is rational simple connectedness, which requires suitable spaces of rational curves through two points to be…

We prove that a projective surface of globally $F$-regular type defined over a field of characteristic zero is of Fano type.

We prove a characterization of Fano type varieties.

We study admissible subcategories of derived categories of coherent sheaves on del Pezzo surfaces and rational elliptic surfaces. Using a relation between admissible subcategories and anticanonical divisors we prove the following results.…

Classically, the projective duality between joins of varieties and the intersections of varieties only holds in good cases. In this paper, we show that categorically, the duality between joins and intersections holds in the framework of…

Let $X$ be a complex smooth Fano variety of dimension $n$. Assume that $X$ admits a birational contraction of an extremal ray. In this paper, we give a classification of such $X$ when the pseudoindex is equal to $\frac{\dim X}{2}$.

We prove that the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on a smooth projective complex variety reconstructs the isomorphism classes of fibrations onto smooth projective curves of genus $g\geq 2$. Moreover, in dimension at most four,…

We give a classification of embedded smooth projective varieties swept out by rational homogeneous varieties whose Picard number and codimension are one.

We investigate the relationship between the Fano type property on fibers over a Zariski dense subset and the global Fano type property. We establish the invariance of N\'eron-Severi spaces, nef cones, effective cones, movable cones, and…

We announce a factorization result for equivariant birational morphisms between toric 4-folds whose source is Fano: such a morphism is always a composite of blow-ups along smooth invariant centers. Moreover, we show with a counterexample…

We prove that the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves with proper support is equivalent to the category of locally-finite, cohomological functors on the perfect derived category of a quasi-projective scheme over a field. We…

A triangulated category is said to be indecomposable if it admits no nontrivial semiorthogonal decompositions. We introduce a definition of a noncommutatively stably semiorthogonally indecomposable (NSSI) variety. This propery implies,…

We introduce the notion of a definable category--a category equivalent to a full subcategory of a locally finitely presentable category that is closed under products, directed colimits and pure subobjects. Definable subcategories are…

Nonsingular projective varieties which are both convex and rationally connected are considered. We ask whether such varieties must be algebraic homogeneous spaces G/P. In case X is a complete intersection, an affirmative answer is obtained…

We know that semi-regular sub-varieties satisfy the variational Hodge conjecture i.e., given a family of smooth projective varieties $\pi:\mathcal{X} \to B$, a special fiber $\mathcal{X}_o$ and a semi-regular subvariety $Z \subset…

In our previous paper we suggested a conjecture relating the structure of the small quantum cohomology ring of a smooth Fano variety to the structure of its derived category of coherent sheaves. Here we generalize this conjecture, make it…

This paper is devoted to systematically extend $f$-mirror symmetry between families of hypersurfaces in complete toric varieties, as introduced in \cite{R-fTV}, to families of complete intersections subvarieties. Namely, $f$-mirror symmetry…

We study a particular class of rationally connected manifolds, $X\subset \p^N$, such that two general points $x,x' \in X$ may be joined by a conic contained in $X$. We prove that these manifolds are Fano, with $b_2\leq 2$. Moreover, a…
