We study three-dimensional Fano varieties with $\mathbb{C}^*$-action. Complementing recent results [13], we give classification results in the canonical case, where the maximal orbit quotient is $\mathbb{P}_2$ having a line arrangement of…

We study hyperplane sections of smooth polarized $K3$-surfaces that split into unions of lines. We describe the dual adjacency graphs of such sections and find sharp upper bounds on their number. In most cases (starting from degree $6$), we…

We compute the cone of effective divisors on the Hilbert scheme of points in the projective plane. We show the sections of many stable vector bundles satisfy a natural interpolation condition, and that these bundles always give rise to the…

For a generic anti-canonical hypersurface in each smooth toric Fano 4-fold with rank 2 Picard group, we prove there exist three isolated rational curves in it. Moreover, for all these 4-folds except one, the contractions of generic…

We study Fano threefolds that can be obtained by blowing up the three-dimensional projective space along a smooth curve of degree six and genus three. We produce many new K-stable examples of such threefolds, and we describe all finite…

This paper classifies toric Fano 3-folds with singular locus { 1/k(1,1,1) } for any positive integer k, building on the work of Batyrev and Watanabe-Watanabe. This is achieved by completing an equivalent problem in the language of Fano…

In this paper, we prove that $\mathbb{P}^2$ blown up at seven general points admits a conic bundle structure over $\mathbb{P}^1$ and it can be embedded as $(2,2)$ divisor in $\mathbb{P}^{1}\times\mathbb{P}^{2}$. Conversely, any smooth…

After a general discussion of group actions, orbifolds, and "weak orbifolds" this note will provide elementary introductions to two basic moduli spaces over the real or complex numbers: First the moduli space of effective divisors with…

In this work, we compute the effective cone of the space of $n$ pointed genus 0 rational curves, $\bar{M}_{0,n}$ for odd $n$. We will, in fact, use the equivalence of $\bar{M}_{0,n}$ and the space of (semi) stable configurations of $n$…

By utilizing elementary techniques from toric geometry, we prove sharp cohomological vanishing results for line bundles defined on the blow-up of projective space $\mathbb{P}^n$ at no more than $n+1$ points.

We construct log resolutions of pairs on the blow-up of the projective space in an arbitrary number of general points and we discuss the semi-ampleness of the strict transforms. As an application we prove that the abundance conjecture holds…

We describe explicitly the chamber structure of the movable cone for a general complete intersection Calabi--Yau threefold in a non-split $(n + 4)$-dimensional $\mathbb{P}^{n}$-ruled Fano manifold of index $n + 1$ and Picard number two.…

We prove some version of Morrison's conjecture on the cone of divisors for Calabi-Yau fiber spaces with non-trivial base pace whose total space is 3-dimensional.

Let $C$ be a smooth curve of genus $g \geq 1$ and let $C^{(2)}$ be its second symmetric product. In this note we prove that if $C$ is very general, then the blow-up of $C^{(2)}$ at a very general point has non-polyhedral pseudo-effective…

We study Q-Fano threefolds of large Fano index. In particular, we prove that the maximum of Fano index is attained for the weighted projective space P(3,4,5,7).

Let $C$ be a smooth projective curve over $\mathbb{C}$ of genus $g(C)\geqslant 3$ (respectively, $g(C)=2$). Fix integers $r,k$ such that $2\leqslant k\leqslant r-2$, (respectively, $3\leqslant k\leqslant r-2$). Let $\mathcal{Q}:={\rm…

For a general cubic fourfold $X\subset\mathbb{P}^5$ with Fano scheme of lines $F$, we prove a number of properties of the universal family of lines $I\to F$ and various subloci. We first describe the moduli and ramification theory of the…

Following the first paper, we continue to study Mori extractions from singular curves centred in a smooth 3-fold. We treat the case where the divisorial extraction exists in relative codimension at most 3.

We proved that the union of rational curves is dense on a very general K3 surface and the union of elliptic curves is dense in the 1st jet space of a very general K3 surface, both in the strong topology.

In this article we prove the following version of the Weak-BAB conjecture for $3$-folds in char $p>5$: Fix a DCC set $I\subset [0, 1)$ and an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>5$. Let $\mathfrak{D}$ be a collection of klt…
