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…

We study the problem of existence of K\"ahler--Einstein metrics on smooth Fano threefolds of Picard rank one and anticanonical degree $22$ that admit a faithful action of the multiplicative group $\mathbb{C}^\ast$. We prove that, except…

In our series of papers, we prove that smooth Fano threefolds in positive characteristic lift to the ring of Witt vectors. Moreover, we show that they satisfy Akizuki-Nakano vanishing, $E_1$-degeneration of the Hodge to de Rham spectral…

Previously we constructed Calabi-Yau threefolds by a differential-geometric gluing method using Fano threefolds with their smooth anticanonical $K3$ divisors (New York J. Math. 20: 1-33, 2014). In this paper, we further consider the…

We provide examples of smooth three-dimensional Fano complete intersections of dergee 2, 4, 6, and 8 that have coregularity 0. Considering the main theorem of arXiv:2309.16784 on the remaining 101 families of smooth Fano threefolds, our…

We classify the non-toric, $\mathbb Q$-factorial, Gorenstein, log terminal Fano threefolds of Picard number one that admit an effective action of a two-dimensional algebraic torus.

We characterize the birational geometry of some hyperk\"ahler fourfolds of Picard rank $3$ obtained as the Fano varieties of lines on cubic fourfolds containing pairs of cubic scrolls. In each of the two cases considered, we identify all of…

In this article we prove the following version of the Weak-BAB conjecture for $3$-folds in char $p>5$: Fix a DCC set $I\subset [0, 1)$ and an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>5$. Let $\mathfrak{D}$ be a collection of klt…

We consider some families of smooth Fano hypersurfaces $X_{n+2}$ in ${\bf P}^{n+2} \times {\bf P}^3$ given by a homogeneous polynomial of bidegree $(1,3)$. For these varieties we obtain lower bounds for the number of $F$-rational points of…

Let $X_0$ be a smooth projective threefold which is Fano or which has Picard number $1$. Let $\pi :X\rightarrow X_0$ be a finite composition of blowups along smooth centers. We show that for "almost all" of such $X$, if $f\in Aut(X)$ then…

It is proved that the degree of a morphism from a smooth projective n-fold with Picard number one to a smooth n-quadric is bounded (provided, of course, that n is at least three). Actually it has been proved some years ago, but I have never…

We classify Q-factorial Gorenstein Fano non-degenerate complete intersection threefolds in fake weighted projective spaces.

We characterise smooth curves in P^3 whose blow-up produces a threefold with anticanonical divisor big and nef. These are curves C of degree d and genus g lying on a smooth quartic, such that (i) $4d-30 \le g\le 14$ or $(g,d) = (19,12)$,…

This paper was written in 1982. Ideas and methods of "Clemens C.H., Griffiths Ph. The intermediate Jacobian of a cubic threefold" are applied to a Fano threefold X of genus 6 -- intersection of Grassmann sixfold with two hyperplanes and a…

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 compute global log canonical thresholds of some smooth Fano threefolds.

Let $X$ be a complex smooth Fano variety of dimension at least four. In this paper, we classify such $X$ when the pseudoindex is at least $n-2$ and the Picard number greater than one. We also discuss the relations between pseudoindex and…

The classification of toric Fano manifolds with large Picard number corresponds to the classification of smooth Fano polytopes with large number of vertices. A smooth Fano polytope is a polytope that contains the origin in its interior such…

We prove that the Albanese map of a smooth projective threefold, whose anticanonical bundle is nef, is a surjective submersion. We also investigate morphisms of threefolds to curves and surfaces whose relative anticanonical bundle are nef.

We classify non-factorial nodal Fano threefolds with $1$ node and class group of rank $2$.
