We introduce the notion of cracked polytope, and - making use of joint work with Coates and Kasprzyk - construct the associated toric variety $X$ as a subvariety of a non-singular toric variety $Y$ under certain conditions. Restricting to…
We give sufficient conditions for the semisimplicity of quantum cohomology of Fano varieties of Picard rank 1. We apply these techniques to prove new semisimplicity results for some Fano varieties of Picard rank 1 and large index. We also…

We give the construction of a class of multiple locally complete intersection structures on a smooth algebraic variety as support. This class contains the structures defined locally by equations of the form $x^n=0$, $y^2=0$, $z=0, >...,…
We classify Fano 3-folds with canonical Gorenstein singularities whose anticanonical linear system has no base points but does not give an embedding, and we classify anticanonically embedded Fano 3-folds with canonical Gorenstein…
We prove that, under mild restrictions, the space of codimension-one foliations of degree one on a smooth projective complete intersection has two irreducible components of logarithmic type. We also prove that the same conclusion holds for…
Let $X$ be a complex smooth Fano variety of dimension $n$. In this paper, we give a classification of such $X$ when the pseudoindex is equal to $\dfrac{\dim X+1}{2}$ and the Picard number greater than one.
By studying $\mathbb{A}^1$-curves on varieties, we propose a geometric approach to strong approximation problem over function fields of complex curves. We prove that strong approximation holds for smooth, low degree affine complete…
We construct new families of smooth Fano fourfolds with Picard rank 1, which contain cylinders, i.e., Zariski open subsets of form $Z\times A^1$, where $Z$ is a quasiprojective variety. The affine cones over such a fourfold admit effective…
Given a smooth subscheme of a projective space over a finite field, we compute the probability that its intersection with a fixed number of hypersurface sections of large degree is smooth of the expected dimension. This generalizes the case…
We show that the global log canonical threshold of generic Fano complete intersections of index 1 and codimension $k$ in ${\mathbb P}^{M+k}$ is equal to 1 if $M\geqslant 3k+4$ and the highest degree of defining equations is at least 8. This…
We consider mirror symmetry for Fano manifolds, and describe how one can recover the classification of 3-dimensional Fano manifolds from the study of their mirrors. We sketch a program to classify 4-dimensional Fano manifolds using these…
We consider several classes of complete intersection numerical semigroups, aris- ing from many different contexts like algebraic geometry, commutative algebra, coding theory and factorization theory. In particular, we determine all the…

We construct well-formed and quasismooth terminal Fano 4-folds of index 1 in low codimension containing at worst isolated orbifold points. We provide a certain classification of these varieties where their images under the anitcanonical…
A smooth variety is said to satisfy Condition (A) if every finite abelian subgroup of its automorphism group has a fixed point. We classify smooth Fano 3-folds that satisfy Condition (A).

Small codimensional embedded manifolds defined by equations of small degree are Fano and covered by lines. They are complete intersections exactly when the variety of lines through a general point is so and has the right codimension. This…
We propose conjectural semiorthogonal decompositions for Fano schemes of linear subspaces on intersections of two quadrics, in terms of symmetric powers of the associated hyperelliptic (resp. stacky) curve. When the intersection is…
