Curves of low genus on a surface carry important informations on that surface. We study the Fano surfaces of lines of cubic threefolds that contain 12 or 30 elliptic curves. We determine their Picard number and compute a basis of the…
We study Fano manifolds of pseudoindex greater than one and dimension greater than five, which are blow-ups of smooth varieties along smooth centers of dimension equal to the pseudoindex of the manifold. We obtain a classification of the…
We describe the 6-dimensional compact K-moduli space of Fano threefolds in deformation family No 2.18. These Fano threefolds are double covers of $\mathbb P^1\times\mathbb P^2$ branched along smooth $(2,2)$-surfaces, and…
We study the K-moduli stack of prime Fano threefolds of genus twelve, known as $V_{22}$. We prove that its boundary, which parametrizes singular members, is purely divisorial and consists of four irreducible components corresponding to the…
In this article we exhibit certain projective degenerations of smooth $K3$ surfaces of degree $2g-2$ in $\Bbb P^g$ (whose Picard group is generated by the hyperplane class), to a union of two rational normal scrolls, and also to a union of…
We prove that a weak $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano $3$-fold with terminal singularities has unobstructed deformations. By using this result and computing some invariants of a terminal singularity, we provide two results on global deformation of a weak…
In this article we prove some strong vanishing theorems on K3 surfaces. As an aplication of them, we obtain higher syzygy results for K3 surfaces and Fano varieties.
In this paper we give first examples of $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano threefolds whose birational Mori fiber structures consist of exactly three $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano threefolds. These examples are constructed as weighted hypersurfaces in a specific…
We study the K-stability of singular Fano 3-folds with canonical Gorenstein singularities whose anticanonical linear system is base-point-free but not very ample.
We classify Fano fivefolds of index two which are blow-ups of smooth manifolds along a smooth center.
We investigate F-theory on an elliptic Calabi-Yau 4-fold without a section to the fibration. To construct an elliptic Calabi-Yau 4-fold without a section, we introduce families of elliptic K3 surfaces which do not admit a section. A product…
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 prove that the moduli stacks of marked and labelled Hodge-special Gushel-Mukai fourfolds are isomorphic. As an application, we construct rational maps from the stack of Hodge-special Gushel-Mukai fourfolds of discriminant $d$ to the…
We construct a number of topologically trivial but smoothly non-trivial families of embeddings of 3-manifolds in 4-manifolds. These include embeddings of homology spheres in $S^4$ that are not isotopic but have diffeomorphic complements,…
We consider projective Hyper-K\"ahler manifolds of dimension four that are deformation equivalent to Hilbert squares of K3 surfaces. In case such a manifold admits a divisorial contraction, the exceptional divisor is a conic bundle over a…
We construct a $13$-dimensional affine variety $\mathscr{H}_{\mathbb{A}}^{13}$ associated with $\mathbb{P}^{2}\times\mathbb{P}^{2}$-fibrations of relative Picard number $1$. The construction is modelled on the fact that the affine cone over…
We study the symplectic resolution of the Fano variety of lines on some singular cyclic cubic fourfolds, i.e. cubic fourfolds arising as cyclic 3:1 cover of $\mathbb{P}^4$ branched along a cubic threefold. In particular we are interested in…
We study and classify almost complex totally geodesic submanifolds of the nearly Kaehler flag manifold $F_{1,2}(\mathbb C^3)$, and of its semi-Riemannian counterpart. We also develop a structural approach to the nearly Kaehler flag manifold…
We study the question whether rational homogeneous spaces are rigid under Fano deformation. In other words, given any smooth connected family f:X -> Zof Fano manifolds, if one fiber is biholomorphic to a rational homogeneous space S,…
A Fano variety of Picard number $1$ is said to be \textit{birationally solid} if it is not birational to a Mori fiber space over a positive dimensional base. In this paper we complete the classification of quasi-smooth birationally solid…
