We observe a method for finding weak Landau-Ginzburg models for Fano varieties and find them for smooth Fano threefolds of genera 9, 10, and 12.
We study smoothings of Fano threefolds. We prove that the Picard number remains constant in the case of terminal Gorenstein singularities.
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.
We classify Fano manifolds X containing a divisor E isomorphic to projective space such that the normal bundle $N_{E/X}$ is strictly negative.
We give an explicit construction of prime Fano threefolds of genus 12 with a $G_m$-action, describe their isomorphism classes and automorphism groups.
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 show that for a weak $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano threefold $X$ ($\mathbb{Q}$-factorial with terminal singularities and $-K_X$ is nef and big) of Picard rank $\rho(X)\leq 2$, either $-K_X^3\leq 64$ or $-K_X^3=72$ and…
We classify Fano fivefolds of index two which are projectivization of rank two vector bundles over four dimensional manifolds.
We prove the following main result: Let X be a Fano 3-fold with terminal Q-factorial singularities and X does not have a small extremal ray and a face of Kodaira dimension 1 or 2 for Mori polyhedron of X. Then the Picard number \rho (X) <…
We address the following question: When an affine cone over a smooth Fano threefold admits an effective action of the additive group? In this paper we deal with Fano threefolds of index 1 and Picard number 1. Our approach is based on a…
We provide a complete classification of Fano threefolds X having canonical Gorenstein singularities and the anticanonical degree (-KX)^3 equal 64.

We prove that smooth Fano 5-folds with nef tangent bundles and Picard numbers greater than one are rational homogeneous manifolds.
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…
We construct new families of smooth Fano fourfolds with Picard rank 1, which contain cylinders, i.e., Zariski open subsets of form $Z\times A^1$, where $Z$ is a quasiprojective variety. The affine cones over such a fourfold admit effective…
Curves of low genus on a surface carry important informations on that surface. We study the Fano surfaces of lines of cubic threefolds that contain 12 or 30 elliptic curves. We determine their Picard number and compute a basis of the…
We refine the classification of weak Fano threefolds with sextic del Pezzo fibrations by considering the Hodge numbers of them. By the refined classification result, such threefolds are classified into 17 cases. The main result of this…
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…
In this paper, we provide examples of Sarkisov links of type II between complex projective Fano threefolds $X$ with $\rho(X) = 1$. To show examples of these links, we study smooth weak Fano threefolds with extremal rays of type $E$. We…
A smooth variety is said to satisfy Condition (A) if every finite abelian subgroup of its automorphism group has a fixed point. We classify smooth Fano 3-folds that satisfy Condition (A).
