We prove that the Apery constants for a certain class of Fano threefolds can be obtained as a special value of a higher normal function.

For Fano manifolds we define Ap\'ery constants and Ap\'ery class as particular limits of ratios of coefficients of solutions of the quantum differential equation. We do numerical computations in case of homogeneous varieties. These numbers…

Let $F/F^+$ be a CM extension and $H_{/F^+}$ a definite unitary group in three variables that splits over $F$. We describe Hecke isotypic components of mod $p$ algebraic modular forms on $H$ at first principal congruence level at $p$ and…

We introduce an explicit class of tempered Laurent polynomials in the sense of Villegas and Doran--Kerr in $n \leqslant 4$ variables including all Landau--Ginzburg models for smooth Fano threefolds with very ample anticanonical class. We…

Explicit birational geometry of 3-folds represents a second phase of Mori theory, going beyond the foundational work of the 1980s. This paper is a tutorial and colloquial introduction to the explicit classification of Fano 3-folds (Q-Fano…

We construct an explicit semistable degeneration of a Fano eightfold of index three and deduce its Hodge numbers, in particular we show that it has Picard rank one. The Fano variety is of K3 type and it is defined as a connected component…

For each smooth Fano threefold $X$ with Picard number 1 we consider a weak Landau--Ginzburg model, that is a fibration over $\mathbb C^1$ given by a certain Laurent polynomial. In the spirit of L. Katzarkov's program we prove that the…

The paper is joined with arXiv:0911.5428 and improved. We prove that Landau-Ginzburg models for all 17 smooth Fano threefolds with Picard rank 1 can be represented as Laurent polynomials in 3 variables exhibiting them case by case. We check…

We study links between algebraic cycles on threefolds and finite-dimensionality of their motives with coefficients in Q. We decompose the motive of a non-singular projective threefold X with representable algebraic part of CH_0(X) into…

We show that cubic fourfolds with lattice of algebraic 2-cycles of rank greater than 19 have abelian and finite dimensional (in the sense of Kimura) Chow motive. This also implies Abelianity and finite dimensionality of the motive of…

Motivated by the study of Fano type varieties we define a new class of log pairs that we call asymptotically log Fano varieties and strongly asymptotically log Fano varieties. We study their properties in dimension two under an additional…

We study moduli spaces of stable objects in the Kuznetsov components of Fano threefolds. We prove a general non-emptiness criterion for moduli spaces, which applies to the cases of prime Fano threefolds of index $1$, degree $10 \leq d \leq…

In this paper we initiate the study of higher Chow cycles on holomorphic symplectic manifolds. Our concrete central result is construction of explicit indecomposable (2,1)- and (4,1)-cycles on the Fano varieties of lines on cyclic cubic…

Let E/F be a quadratic number (resp. p-adic) field extension, and F' an odd degree cyclic field extension of F. We establish a base-change functorial lifting of automorphic (resp. admissible) representations from the unitary group U(3,E/F)…

We explicitly fully describe the K-moduli space of Fano threefold family number 3.3. We first show that K-semistable Fano varieties with volume greater than 18 are Gorenstein canonical and admit general elephants, decreasing the bound on a…

We show that the moduli space of elliptic curves of minimal degree in a general Fano variety of lines of a cubic fourfold is a non-singular curve of genus $631$. The curve admits a natural involution with connected quotient. We find that…

In this article, we study the K-moduli space of Fano threefolds obtained by blowing up $\mathbb{P}^3$ along $(2,3)$-complete intersection curves. This K-moduli space is a two-step birational modification of the GIT moduli space of…

We study the Hodge numbers of Landau-Ginzburg models as defined by Katzarkov, Kontsevich and Pantev. First we show that these numbers can be computed using ordinary mixed Hodge theory, then we give a concrete recipe for computing these…

We study differential equations satisfied by modular forms associated to $\Gamma_1\times\Gamma_2$, where $\Gamma_i (i=1,2)$ are genus zero subgroups of $SL_2(\mathbf R)$ commensurable with $SL_2(\mathbf Z)$, e.g., $\Gamma_0(N)$ or…

We show that $G$-Fano threefolds are mirror-modular. 1. Mirror maps are inversed reversed Hauptmoduln for moonshine subgroups of $SL_2(\mathbb{R})$. 2. Quantum periods, shifted by an integer constant (eigenvalue of quantum operator on…
