Let $\Delta$ be a $3$-dimensional lattice polytope containing exactly one interior lattice point. We give a simple combinatorial formula for computing the stringy $E$-function of the $3$-dimensional canonical toric Fano variety $X_{\Delta}$…

For a complex variety with a torus action we propose a new method of computing Chern-Schwartz-MacPherson classes. The method does not apply resolution of singularities. It is based on Localization Theorem in equivariant cohomology.

We show how the notion of fantastacks can be used to effectively desingularize binomial varieties defined over algebraically closed fields. In contrast to a desingularization via blow-ups in smooth centers, we drastically reduce the number…

A toric manifold is a compact non-singular toric variety equipped with a natural half-dimensional compact torus action. A torus manifold is an oriented, closed, smooth manifold of dimension $2n$ with an effective action of a compact torus…

We prove that the Fano variety of lines of a cuspidal cyclic cubic fourfold is a symplectic variety with transversal A2-singularities and we study the properties of the nonsymplectic order three automorphism induced by the covering…

This paper classifies all toric Fano 3-folds with terminal singularities. This is achieved by solving the equivalent combinatoric problem; that of finding, up to the action of GL(3,Z), all convex polytopes in Z^3 which contain the origin as…

In this paper, we determine the solitonic decomposition of a Fano toric manifold by computing eigenfunctions of solitonic complex Laplacian operator.

In 1988, Tian posed the stabilization problem for equivariant global log canonical thresholds. We solve it in the case of toric Fano manifolds. This is the first general result on Tian's problem. A key new estimate involves expressing…

We generalize the equivariant intermediate Jacobian torsor obstruction over $\mathbb{C}$ to algebraically closed fields of characteristic zero. It is an obstruction to the (projective) linearizability problem of finite group actions on…

We give some bounds on the anticanonical degrees of Fano varieties with Picard number 1 and mild singularities, extending results of Koll\'ar et al. from the early 90's and improving them even in the smooth case. The proof is based on a…

We show that the set of families of smooth well-formed Fano weighted complete intersections admits a natural partition with respect to the variance $\mathrm{var}(X) = \mathrm{coind}(X) - \mathrm{codim}(X)$. Moreover, we obtain the…

We define a notion of grading of a monoid T in a monoidal category C, relative to a class of morphisms M (which provide a notion of M-subobject). We show that, under reasonable conditions (including that M forms a factorization system),…

We classify the bi-canonical representations of finite automorphisms on Enriques surfaces. There are three types of non-trivial cases and examples are given explicitly by Horikawa models. In particular, finite non-semi-symplectic…

Via the theory of reverse lexicographic squarefree initial ideals of toric ideals, we give a new class of Gorenstein Fano polytopes (reflexive polytopes) arising from a pair of stable set polytopes of perfect graphs.

We give a simple expression for the integral of the canonical holomorphic volume form in degenerating families of varieties constructed from wall structures and with central fiber a union of toric varieties. The cycles to integrate over are…

A $n$-dimensional Gorenstein toric Fano variety $X$ is called Del Pezzo variety if the anticanonical class $-K_X$ is a $(n-1)$-multiple of a Cartier divisor. Our purpose is to give a complete biregular classfication of Gorenstein toric Del…

We classify the polarized symplectic automorphisms of Fano varieties of smooth cubic fourfolds (equipped with the Pl\"ucker polarization) and study the fixed loci.

In this paper we consider double covers of the projective space in relation with the problem of extensions of varieties, specifically of extensions of canonical curves to $K3$ surfaces and Fano 3-folds. In particular we consider $K3$…

We describe the set of Mori structures for a Fano 3-fold of index 2 and degree 1 (the double cone over the Veronese surface). In partiular, it is proved that such a Fano variety is not rational, the group of birational automorphisms…

Inspired by Fujita's algebro-geometric result that complex projective space has maximal degree among all K-semistable complex Fano varieties, we conjecture that the height of a K-semistable metrized arithmetic Fano variety X of relative…
