This is a continuation of a series of papers studying the birational Mori fiber structures of anticanonically embedded $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano $3$-fold weighted complete intersections of codimension $2$. We have proved that $19$ families consists…
The aim of this paper is to prove Golyshev's conjecture in the cases of Fano threefolds $V_{10}$ and $V_{14}$. This conjecture states modularity of D3 equations for smooth Fano threefolds with Picard group Z. More precisely, we find…
Let $X$ be a $\mathbb Q$-factorial weak Fano $3$-fold with at worst isolated canonical singularities. We show that the $\mathbb Q$-Fano index of $X$ is at most $61$.
In this paper, we bring the terminology of the Kunz coordinates of numerical semigroups to gapsets and we generalize this concept to $m$-extensions. It allows us to identify gapsets and, in general, $m$-extensions with tilings of boards. As…
We study unirationality and rationality of Fano threefolds of degree 18 over nonclosed fields.
This work deals with the study of embeddings of toric Calabi-Yau fourfolds which are complex cones over the smooth Fano threefolds. In particular, we focus on finding various embeddings of Fano threefolds inside other Fano threefolds and…
We construct a $14$-dimensional affine variety $\Sigma^{14}_{\mathbb{A}}$ with a $\rm{GL}_3$- and a $(\mathbb{C}^*)^6$-actions. We denote by $\Sigma^{13}_{\mathbb{A}}$ the affine variety obtained from $\Sigma^{14}_{\mathbb{A}}$ by setting…
We define an integer-valued virtual count of embedded pseudo-holomorphic curves of two times a primitive homology class and arbitrary genus in symplectic Calabi--Yau $3$-folds, which can be viewed as an extension of Taubes' Gromov…
We highlight a relation between the existence of Sarkisov links and the finite generation of (certain) Cox rings. We introduce explicit methods to use this relation in order to prove birational rigidity statements. To illustrate, we…
This is not a research article. This is a partial version of a mini-cours which I gave at a meeting of the ACI Jeunes Chercheurs "Dynamique des applications polynomiales" in Toulouse in november 2004. This text includes two parts of that…
Given the facts that the three-qubit symplectic polar space features three different kinds of observables and each of its labeled Fano planes acquires a definite sign, we found that there are 45 distinct types of Mermin pentagrams in this…
We exhibit an example of obstructed K-polystable Fano 3-fold $X$ such that the K-moduli stack of K-semistable Fano varieties and the K-moduli space of K-polystable Fano varieties have an embedded point at $[X]$.
We classify birationally rigid orbifold Fano 3-folds of index one defined by $5 \times 5$ Pfaffians. We give a sharp criterion for birational rigidity of these families based on the type of singularities that the varieties admit. Various…
We study Q-Fano threefolds of large Fano index. In particular, we prove that the maximum of Fano index is attained for the weighted projective space P(3,4,5,7).
Given a 3-graph H, let \ex_2(n, H) denote the maximum value of the minimum codegree of a 3-graph on n vertices which does not contain a copy of H. Let F denote the Fano plane, which is the 3-graph \{axx',ayy',azz',xyz',xy'z,x'yz,x'y'z'\}.…
It is conjectured that the base varieties of the Iitaka fibrations are bounded when the Iitaka volumes are bounded above. We confirm this conjecture for Iitaka $\epsilon$-lc Fano type fibrations.
We compute global log canonical thresholds, or equivalently alpha invariants, of birationally rigid orbifold Fano threefolds embedded in weighted projective spaces as codimension two or three. As an important application, we prove that most…
We study Gorenstein almost Fano threefolds X with canonical singularities and pseudoindex > 1. We show that the maximal Picard number of X is 10 in general, 3 if X is Fano, and 8 if X is toric. Moreover, we characterize the boundary cases.…
We classify smooth Fano threefolds with infinite automorphism groups.
We classify families of free rational curves on all smooth Fano threefolds over the complex numbers. In particular, we prove the family of very free rational curves representing any fixed numerical curve class is either irreducible or…
