We classify Fano 3-folds with canonical Gorenstein singularities whose anticanonical linear system has no base points but does not give an embedding, and we classify anticanonically embedded Fano 3-folds with canonical Gorenstein…
We give a classification of smooth Fano fourfolds such that the base scheme of the anticanonical system is a smooth surface. As a consequence we show that there are exactly 22 deformation families of such manifolds and they are all obtained…
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…

Let $X$ be a smooth Fano threefold over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic. Assume that $|-K_X|$ is very ample and each of the index and the Picard number is equal to one. We prove that $3 \leq g \leq 12$ and $g \neq…
We prove that a prime Fano threefold of genus 8 over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic is isomorphic to a linear section of the Grassmannian variety Gr(2, 6). As applications, it is shown that a prime Fano threefold…
We study the Picard variety of the Fano surface of nodal and mildly cuspidal cubic threefolds in arbitrary characteristic by relating divisors on the Fano surface to divisors on the symmetric product of a curve of genus 4.

We give a complete classification of smooth, complex projective Fano 4-folds of Picard number 3 having a prime divisor of Picard number 1. They form 28 distinct families, and we compute the main numerical invariants, study the base locus of…
For $n\geq 4$, let $X$ be a complex smooth Fano $n$-fold whose minimal anticanonical degree of non-free rational curves on $X$ is at least $n-2$. We classify extremal contractions of such varieties. As an application, we obtain a…
We completely classify toric weakened Fano 3-folds, that is, smooth toric weak Fano 3-folds which are not Fano but are deformed to smooth Fano 3-folds. There exist exactly 15 toric weakened Fano 3-folds up to isomorphisms.
We give necessary and sufficient conditions for unirationality and rationality of Fano threefolds of geometric Picard rank-1 over an arbitrary field of zero characteristic.
In this paper, we study the explicit geometry of threefolds, in particular, Fano varieties. We find an explicitly computable positive integer $N$, such that all but a bounded family of Fano threefolds have $N$-complements. This result has…
We classify the terminal Fano threefolds of Picard number one that come with an effective action of a two-torus. Our approach applies also to higher dimensions and generalizes the correspondence between toric Fano varieties and lattice…
