In this paper, we investigate K-polystability on smooth complex Fano 4-folds with Lefschetz defect at least 2, focusing on the case of Lefschetz defect 3 and on Casagrande-Druel Fano 4-folds with Lefschetz defect 2. We show that exactly 5…

In this paper we study smooth toric Fano varieties using primitive relations and toric Mori theory. We show that for any irreducible invariant divisor D in a toric Fano variety X, we have $0\leq\rho_X-\rho_D\leq 3$, for the difference of…

We study Q-factorial terminal Fano 3-folds whose equations are modelled on those of the Segre embedding of P^2 x P^2. These lie in codimension 4 in their total anticanonical embedding and have Picard rank 2. They fit into the current state…

In this paper we show that a smooth toric variety $X$ of Picard number $r\leq 3$ always admits a nef primitive collection supported on a hyperplane admitting non-trivial intersection with the cone $\Nef(X)$ of numerically effective divisors…

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…

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 $X$,…

Using the technique of categorical absorption of singularities we prove that the nontrivial components of the derived categories of del Pezzo threefolds of degree $d \in \{2,3,4,5\}$ and crepant categorical resolutions of the nontrivial…

We classify rank two vector bundles on a given del Pezzo threefold of degree four whose projectivizations are weak Fano into seven cases. We also give an example for each of these seven cases.

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…

T.Kishimoto raised the problem to classify all compactifications of contractible affine 3-folds into smooth Fano 3-folds with second Betti number two and classified such compactifications whose log canonical divisors are not nef. In this…

In a first result, we describe all finitely generated factorial algebras over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero that come with an effective multigrading of complexity one by means of generators and relations. This enables…

We construct 4 di erent families of smooth Fano fourfolds with Picard rank 1, which contain cylinders, i.e., Zariski open subsets of the form Z x A1, where Z is a quasiprojective variety. The affi ne cones over such a fourfold admit eff…

We refine the classification of weak Fano threefolds with sextic del Pezzo fibrations by considering the Hodge numbers of them. By the refined classification result, such threefolds are classified into 17 cases. The main result of this…

Let $f:Y\to X$ be a finite morphism between Fano manifolds $Y$ and $X$ such that the Fano index of $X$ is greater than 1. On the one hand, when both $X$ and $Y$ are fourfolds of Picard number 1, we show that the degree of $f$ is bounded in…

A V_{12} Fano threefold is a smooth Fano threefold X of index 1 with Pic X = Z and (-K_X)^3=12. We show that the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on any V_{12} threefold X admits a semiorthogonal decomposition consisting of two…

Over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic, we classify smooth Fano threefolds of Picard number one whose anti-canonical linear systems are not very ample. Furthermore, we also prove that an anti-canonically embedded Fano…

We study the birational geometry of a Fano 4-fold X from the point of view of Mori dream spaces; more precisely, we study rational contractions of X. Here a rational contraction is a rational map f: X-->Y, where Y is normal and projective,…

We prove the following main result: Let X be a Fano 3-fold with terminal Q-factorial singularities and X does not have a small extremal ray and a face of Kodaira dimension 1 or 2 for Mori polyhedron of X. Then the Picard number \rho (X) <…
