We address the problem of determining the hypersurfaces $f\colon M^{n} \to \mathbb{Q}_s^{n+1}(c)$ with dimension $n\geq 3$ of a pseudo-Riemannian space form of dimension $n+1$, constant curvature $c$ and index $s\in \{0, 1\}$ for which…

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…

By embedding four-rod resonators inside double-split ring resonators superlattice, a planar composite metamaterial possessing tripod plasmonic resonances is fabricated. Double Fano resonances are observed where a common subradiant driven…

The 2-dimensional Lyness map is a 5-periodic birational map of the plane which may famously be resolved to give an automorphism of a log Calabi-Yau surface, given by the complement of an anticanonical pentagon of $(-1)$-curves in a del…

We prove the existence of a one parameter family of minimal embedded hypersurfaces in $R^{n+1}$, for $n \geq 3$, which generalize the well known 2 dimensional "Riemann minimal surfaces". The hypersurfaces we obtain are complete, embedded,…

We study area-minimizing hypersurfaces in singular ambient manifolds whose tangent cones have nonnegative scalar curvature on their regular parts. We prove that the singular set of the hypersurface has codimension at least 3 in our…

It is known that there is at least an invariant analytic curve passing through each of the components in the complement of nodal singularities, after the reduction of singularities of a germ of singular foliation in ${\mathbb C}^2,0$}.…

We give new proofs of the K-polystability of two smooth Fano threefolds. One of them is a~smooth divisor in $\mathbb{P}^1\times\mathbb{P}^1\times\mathbb{P}^2$ of degree $(1,1,1)$, which is unique up to isomorphism. Another one is the~blow…

We complete the analysis on the birational rigidity of quasismooth Fano 3-fold deformation families appearing in the Graded Ring Database as a complete intersection. When such a deformation family $X$ has Fano index at least 2 and is…

The {\it two-fold singularity} has played a significant role in our understanding of uniqueness and stability in piecewise smooth dynamical systems. When a vector field is discontinuous at some hypersurface, it can become tangent to that…

Given a smooth non-hyperelliptic prime Fano threefold X, we prove the existence of all rank 2 ACM vector bundles on X by deformation of semistable sheaves. We show that these bundles move in generically smooth components of the…

We prove birational superrigidity of Fano cyclic covers of index 1 over hypersurfaces in the projective space.

All varieties, extremal contractions, singularities are divided on exceptional and non-exceptional ones. Roughly speaking, there are the infinite families of non-exceptional varieties, extremal contractions or singularities and only the…

We show that certain Fano eightfolds (obtained as hyperplane sections of an orthogonal Grassmannian, and studied by Ito-Miura-Okawa-Ueda and by Fatighenti-Mongardi) have a multiplicative Chow-K\"unneth decomposition. As a corollary, the…

Cubic sevenfolds are examples of Fano manifolds of Calabi-Yau type. We study them in relation with the Cartan cubic, the $E_6$-invariant cubic in $\PP^{26}$. We show that a generic cubic sevenfold $X$ can be described as a linear section of…

We classify all 1-nodal degenerations of smooth Fano threefolds with Picard number 1 (both nonfactorial and factorial) and describe their geometry. In particular, we describe a relation between such degenerations and smooth Fano threefolds…

We classify smooth Fano manifolds X with the Picard number $\rho_X \geq 3$ such that there exists an extremal ray which has a birational contraction that maps a divisor to a point.

This note is devoted to a special Fano fourfold defined by a four-dimensional space of skew-symmetric forms in five variables. This fourfold appears to be closely related with the classical Segre cubic and its Cremona-Richmond configuration…

For a Fano manifold of pseudo-index at least 3 and $c_1^2-2c_2$ nef, we show irreducibility of certain spaces of curves on the Fano manifold implies the manifold is a union of rational surfaces.

We use the specialization homomorphism for the birational automorphism group to study finite order birational automorphisms. For a family of varieties over a DVR, we prove that a birational automorphism of order coprime to the residue…
