In this paper, we continue the study of Serrano's conjecture in low dimensions. We focus on two special cases of the log version of Serrano's conjecture: the ampleness conjecture and the log version of Campana--Peternell's conjecture. In…

As a special case of a conjecture by Schwede and Smith, we prove that a smooth complex projective threefold with nef anti-canonical divisor is weak Fano if it is of globally $F$-regular type.

A famous theorem of Shokurov states that a general anticanonical divisor of a smooth Fano threefold is a smooth K3 surface. This is quite surprising since there are several examples where the base locus of the anticanonical system has…

Any ample Cartier divisor D on a projective variety X is strictly nef (i.e. D.C>0 for any effective curve C on X). In general, the converse statement does not hold. But this is conjectured to be true for anticanonical divisors. The present…

In characteristic $0$, the Campana-Peternell conjecture claims that the only smooth Fano variety with nef tangent bundle should be homogeneous. In this paper, we study the positive characteristic version of the Campana-Peternell conjecture.…

Let X be a Fano manifold such that every rational curve in X has anticanonical degree at least the dimension of X. We prove that X is a projective space or a quadric.

Let $(X,\Delta)$ be a log canonical pair over $\mathbb{C}$ with $X$ a normal projective variety, $\Delta$ an effective $\mathbb{Q}$-divisor, and $K_X+\Delta$ nef. We give a non-vanishing criterion for $K_X+\Delta$ in dimension $n$ with $X$…

In this paper we show that a general element of $|-K_X|$ on a four-dimensional Fano manifold has at most terminal singularities. We then determine an explicit local expression of these singular points.

In this paper, we prove the ampleness conjecture and Serrano's conjecture for strictly nef divisors on K-trivial fourfolds. Specifically, we show that any strictly nef divisors on projective fourfolds with trivial canonical bundle and…

Let X be a compact K\"ahler manifold such that the anticanonical bundle $-K_X$ is nef. A classical conjecture claims that the Albanese map is submersive. We prove this conjecture if the general fibre is a weak Fano manifold. If X is…

In this paper, we prove that given a flat generically smooth morphism between smooth projective varieties with $F$-pure closed fibers, if the source space is Fano, weak Fano or a variety with the nef anti-canonical divisor, then so is the…

Let $X$ be a smooth complex projective rationally connected threefold with $-K_X$ nef and not semi-ample. In our previous work, we classified all such threefolds when $|{-}K_X|$ has no fixed divisor. In this paper, we continue our…

A Fano surface of a smooth cubic threefold X in P^4 parametrizes the lines on X. In this note, we prove that a Fano surface satisfies the Tate conjecture over a field of finite type over the prime field and characteristic not 2.

Let $X$ be a smooth projective variety with a nef anticanonical divisor over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$. In this paper, we establish a precise structure of $X$ under the condition that $a_X: X \to {\rm Alb}(X)$ is…

We consider a smooth projective surjective morphism between smooth complex projective varieties. We give a Hodge theoretic proof of the following well-known fact: If the anti-canonical divisor of the source space is nef, then so is the…

We prove that a smooth projective variety $X$ of dimension $n$ with strictly nef third, fourth or $(n-1)$-th exterior power of the tangent bundle is a Fano variety. Moreover, in the first two cases, we provide a classification for $X$ under…

We classify Fano manifolds X containing a divisor E isomorphic to projective space such that the normal bundle $N_{E/X}$ is strictly negative.

Let X be a complex Fano manifold of arbitrary dimension, and D a prime divisor in X. We consider the image H of N_1(D) in N_1(X) under the natural push-forward of 1-cycles. We show that the codimension c of H in N_1(X) is at most 8.…

In this paper, we study the Miyaoka type inequality on Chern classes of terminal projective $3$-folds with nef anti-canonical divisors. Let $X$ be a terminal projective $3$-fold such that $-K_X$ is nef. We show that if $c_1(X)\cdot…

Let $X$ be a smooth projective rationally connected threefold with nef anticanonical divisor. We give a classification for the case when $-K_X$ is not semi-ample.
