This paper is devoted to the study of the embeddings of a complex submanifold $S$ inside a larger complex manifold $M$; in particular, we are interested in comparing the embedding of $S$ in $M$ with the embedding of $S$ as the zero section…
We study the geometry of fanning curves in the Grassmann manifold of n-dimensional subspaces of $\mathbb{R}^{kn}$; we construct a complete system of invariants which solve the congruence problem. The geometry of the invariants themselves…
We give a simple criterion for slope stability of Fano manifolds $X$ along divisors or smooth subvarieties. As an application, we show that $X$ is slope stable along an ample effective divisor $D\subset X$ unless $X$ is isomorphic to a…
We construct some new deformation families of four-dimensional Fano manifolds of index $1$ in some known classes of Gorenstein formats. These families have explicit descriptions in terms of equations, defining their image under the…
The aim of this work is to offer a family of invariants that allows us to classify finite potent endomorphisms on arbitrary vector spaces, generalizing the classification of endomorphisms on finite-dimensional vector spaces. As a particular…
For a topological space $X$ we study continuous maps $f : X\to \mathbb R^m$ such that images of every pairwise distinct $k$ points are affinely (linearly) independent. Such maps are called affinely (linearly) $k$-regular embeddings. We…
This paper generalizes the first author's preceding works concerning admissible functions on certain Fano manifolds. Here, we study a larger class of functions which can be less symmetric than the ones studied before. When the sup of these…
We define an invariant for compact spin manifolds $X$ of dimension $4k$ equipped with a metric $h$ of positive Yamabe invariant on its boundary. The vanishing of this invariant is a necessary condition for the conformal class of $h$ to be…
Complete intersections inside rational homogeneous varieties provide interesting examples of Fano manifolds. For example, if $X = \cap_{i=1}^r D_i \subset G/P$ is a general complete intersection of $r$ ample divisors such that $K_{G/P}^*…
Let $X \subset \mathbb P(a_0,\ldots,a_n)$ be a quasi-smooth weighted Fano hypersurface of degree $d$ and index $I_X$ such that $a_i |d$ for all $i$, with $a_0 \le \ldots \le a_n$. If $I_X=1$, we show that, under a suitable condition, the…
We construct several new families of Fano varieties of K3 type. We give a geometrical explanation of the K3 structure and we link some of them to projective families of irreducible holomorphic symplectic manifolds.
In this short note we show the unboundedness of the dimension of the K-moduli space of $n$-dimensional Fano varieties, and that the dimension of the stack can also be unbounded while, simultaneously, the dimension of the corresponding…
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…
We define categories of stratified manifolds (s-manifolds) and stratified manifolds with corners (s-manifolds with corners). An s-manifold $\bf X$ of dimension $n$ is a Hausdorff, locally compact topological space $X$ with a stratification…
Motivated by the problem of classifying toric $2$-Fano manifolds, we introduce a new invariant for smooth projective toric varieties, the minimal projective bundle dimension. This invariant $m(X)\in\{1, \dots,\dim(X)\}$ captures the minimal…
We classify smooth Fano weighted complete intersections of large codimension.
For each $n$, each dimension $r$, and each subscheme $X \subset \mathbb{P}^n$ defined as the common zero-locus of $s$ hypersurfaces, of degrees $\mathbf{d} = (d_1, \ldots , d_s)$ say, the Fano variety $F_r(X)$ of projective $r$-spaces…
We compute global log canonical thresholds, or equivalently alpha invariants, of birationally rigid orbifold Fano threefolds embedded in weighted projective spaces as codimension two or three. As an important application, we prove that most…
Our aim is to study invariant hypersurfaces immersed in the Euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, whose mean curvature is given as a linear function in the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^n$ depending on its Gauss map. These hypersurfaces are closely…
This work deals with the study of embeddings of toric Calabi-Yau fourfolds which are complex cones over the smooth Fano threefolds. In particular, we focus on finding various embeddings of Fano threefolds inside other Fano threefolds and…
