We investigate the variation of log canonical thresholds in (graded) linear systems. For toric log Fano varieties, we give a sharp lower bound for log canonical thresholds of the anticanonical members in terms of the global minimal log…

We investigate Fano varieties defined over a number field that contain subvarieties whose number of rational points of bounded height is comparable to the total number on the variety.

Toric geometry provides a bridge between algebraic geometry and combinatorics of fans and polytopes. For each polarized toric variety (X,L) we have associated a polytope P. In this thesis we use this correspondence to study birational…

We consider the problem to determine which blow-ups along subvarieties in products of two projective spaces are log Fano. By describing the nef cones of such blow-ups with special centers, we give a partial classification result. For each…

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…

This paper studies two related subjects. One is some combinatorics arising from linear projections of polytopes and fans of cones. The other is quotient varieties of toric varieties. The relation is that projections of polytopes are related…

We provide an overview of the combinatorial theory of horospherical varieties using coloured fans, a generalization of the combinatorial theory of toric varieties using polyhedral fans.

We prove a characterization of Fano type varieties.

We introduce the class of weakly log canonical singularities, a natural generalization of semi-log canonical singularities. Toric varieties (associated to toric face rings, possibly non-normal or reducible) which have weakly (semi-) log…

We exhibit a large class of quiver moduli spaces which are Fano varieties, by studying line bundles on quiver moduli and their global sections in general, and work out several classes of examples, comprising moduli spaces of point…

We give a characterization of Gorenstein toric Fano varieties of dimension $n$ with index $n$ among toric varieties. As an application, we give a strong version of Fujita's freeness conjecture and also give a simple proof of Fujita's very…

Regular semisimple Hessenberg varieties are smooth subvarieties of the flag variety, and their examples contain the flag variety itself and the permutohedral variety which is a toric variety. We give a complete classification of Fano and…

We exhibit full exceptional collections of vector bundles on any smooth, Fano arithmetic toric variety whose split fan is centrally symmetric.

We give a survey of the recent progress on the study of K-stability of Fano varieties by an algebro-geometric approach.

We survey some results obtained in our quest for Fano varieties of K3 type and discuss why exploring the singular world might be interesting for discovering new K3 structures.

In this paper, we provide a combinatorial description of seminormal toric varieties. The corresponding combinatorial object is a fan equipped with a collection of groups assigned to each cone. This framework introduces a more general class…

Fano varieties are 'atomic pieces' of algebraic varieties, the shapes that can be defined by polynomial equations. We describe the role of computation and database methods in the construction and classification of Fano varieties, with an…

We explain a web of Sarkisov links that overlies the classification of Fano weighted projective spaces in dimensions 3 and 4, extending results of Prokhorov.

Here are few notes on not necessarily normal toric varieties and resolution by toric blow-up. These notes are independent of, but in the same spirit as the earlier preprint arXiv:math.AG/0306221. That is, they focus on the fact that toric…

The 2-Fano varieties, defined by De Jong and Starr, satisfy some higher dimensional analogous properties of Fano varieties. We propose a definition of (weak) $k$-Fano variety and conjecture the polyhedrality of the cone of pseudoeffective…
