We classify pairs $(X,\mathscr E)$ where $X$ is a smooth Fano manifold of dimension $n \geq 5$ and $\mathscr E$ is an ample vector bundle of rank $n-2$ on $X$ with $c_1(\mathscr E) = c_1(X)$.

As a generalization of the Mukai conjecture, we conjecture that the Fano manifolds $X$ which satisfy the property $\rho_X(r_X-1)\geq\dim X-1$ have very special structure, where $\rho_X$ is the Picard number of $X$ and $r_X$ is the index of…

Generalizing a question of Mukai, we conjecture that a Fano manifold $X$ with Picard number $\rho_X$ and pseudo-index $\iota_X$ satisfies $\rho_X (\iota_X-1) \le \dim(X)$. We prove this inequality in several situations: $X$ is a Fano…

Mukai varieties are Fano varieties of Picard number one and coindex three. In genus seven to ten they are linear sections of some special homogeneous varieties. We describe the generic automorphism groups of these varieties. When they are…

We give an almost complete classification of non-big Ulrich vector bundles on fourfolds. This allows to classify them in the case of Picard rank one fourfolds, of Mukai fourfolds and in the case of Del Pezzo $n$-folds for $n \le 4$. We also…

Let $X$ be an $n$-dimensional complex Fano manifolds $(n\geq 3)$. Assume that $X$ contains a divisor $A$, which is isomorphic to a rational homogeneous space with Picard number one, such that the conormal bundle $\mathscr{N}^*_{A/X}$ is…

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…

Let X be a Fano variety of dimension n, pseudoindex i_X and Picard number \rho_X. A generalization of a conjecture of Mukai says that \rho_X(i_X-1)\le n. We prove that the conjecture holds if: a) X has pseudoindex i_X \ge \frac{n+3}{3} and…

We obtain a classification of a Q-factorial Q-Fano 3-fold $X$ with the following properties: the Picard number of $X$ is 1; the Gorenstein index of $X$ is 2; the Fano index of $X$ is 1/2; $h^0 (-K_X) \geq 4$; there exists an index 2 point…

We construct new families of smooth Fano fourfolds with Picard rank $1$ which contain open $\Bbb A^1$-cylinders, that is, Zariski open subsets of the form $Z \times \Bbb A^1$, where $Z$ is a quasiprojective variety. In particular, we show…

This paper classifies rank two vector bundles on a del Pezzo threefold $X$ of degree five whose projectivizations are weak Fano. This classification is then used to determine properties of the moduli spaces of such vector bundles on $X$,…

In this paper, we give the complete classification of full exceptional collections on smooth toric Fano threefolds and fourfolds with Picard rank two. To be precise, we give a partial answer to the conjecture in \cite{Kuz} and \cite{LYY}:…

Let $X$ be a complex smooth Fano variety of dimension at least four. In this paper, we classify such $X$ when the pseudoindex is at least $n-2$ and the Picard number greater than one. We also discuss the relations between pseudoindex and…

We classify Fano fivefolds of index two which are projectivization of rank two vector bundles over four dimensional manifolds.

We classify rank two vector bundles on a Fano threefold of Picard rank one whose projectivizations are weak Fano. We also prove the existence of examples for each case of the classification result. Our classification includes detailed…

We give a self-contained and simplified proof of Mukai's classification of prime Fano threefolds of index 1 and genus $g \ge 6$ with at most Gorenstein factorial terminal singularities, and of its extension to higher-dimension.

In this paper we investigate codimension one Fano distributions on Fano manifolds with Picard number one. We classify Fano distributions of maximal index on complete intersections in weighted projective spaces, Fano contact manifolds,…

We prove that Generalized Mukai Conjecture holds for Fano manifolds $X$ of pseudoindex $i_X \ge (\dim X +3)/3$. We also give different proofs of the conjecture for Fano fourfolds and fivefolds.

K{\"u}chle classified the Fano fourfolds that can be obtained as zero loci of global sections of homogeneous vector bundles on Grassmannians. Surprisingly, his classification exhibits two families of fourfolds with the same discrete…

We study Gorenstein almost Fano threefolds X with canonical singularities and pseudoindex > 1. We show that the maximal Picard number of X is 10 in general, 3 if X is Fano, and 8 if X is toric. Moreover, we characterize the boundary cases.…
