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 show that the $\mathbb{Q}$-Fano index of a canonical weak Fano $3$-fold is at most $66$. This upper bound is optimal and gives an affirmative answer to a conjecture of Chengxi Wang in dimension $3$. During the proof, we establish a new…

We study smooth, complex Fano 4-folds X with a rational contraction onto a 3-fold, namely a rational map X-->Y that factors as a sequence of flips X-->X' followed by a surjective morphism X'->Y with connected fibers, where Y is normal,…

We prove that the Apery constants for a certain class of Fano threefolds can be obtained as a special value of a higher normal function.

We construct prime Fano manifolds from spin representations of $Spin_n$ for $n\le 14$. In this range, and if $n\ne 13$, the projectivizations of these representations are prehomogeneous, and we deduce that our Fano manifolds are locally…

We classify compact K\"ahler manifolds with semi-positive holomorphic bisectional and big tangent bundles. We also classify compact complex surfaces with semi-positive tangent bundles and compact complex $3$-folds of the form $P(T^*X)$…

We prove K-stability of smooth Fano 3-folds of Picard rank 3 and degree 20 that satisfy very explicit generality condition.

We study Fano threefolds with~terminal singularities admitting a "minimal" action of a finite group. We prove that under certain additional assumptions such a variety does not contain planes. We also obtain an upper bounds of the number of…

We calculate the Hodge numbers of quasismooth Fano 3-folds whose total anti-canonical embedding has small codimension, and relate these to the number of deformations.

We show that the Picard rank is constant in families of Fano varieties (in arbitrary characteristic) and we moreover investigate the constancy of the index.

We give a self-contained and simplified proof of Mukai's classification of prime Fano threefolds of index 1 and genus $g \ge 6$ with at most Gorenstein factorial terminal singularities, and of its extension to higher-dimension.

A V_{12} Fano threefold is a smooth Fano threefold X of index 1 with Pic X = Z and (-K_X)^3=12. We show that the bounded derived category of coherent sheaves on any V_{12} threefold X admits a semiorthogonal decomposition consisting of two…

In this paper we explain the complete biregular classification of all 4-dimensional smooth toric Fano varieties. The main result states that there exist exactly 123 different types of toric Fano 4-folds up to isomorphism.

A projective log variety (X, D) is called "a log Fano manifold" if X is smooth and if D is a reduced simple normal crossing divisor on X with -(K_X+D) ample. The n-dimensional log Fano manifolds (X, D) with nonzero D are classified in this…

We prove that every smooth Fano threefold from the family No 2.8 is K-stable. Such a Fano threefold is a double cover of the blow-up of $\mathbb{P}^3$ at one point branched along an anti-canonical divisor.

The connection between these Fano 3-folds and plane quartic curves is explained.

We prove the $W\mathcal{O}$-rationality of klt threefolds and the rational chain connectedness of klt Fano threefolds over a perfect field of characteristic $p>5$. As a consequence, any klt Fano threefold over a finite field has a rational…

We construct a $13$-dimensional affine variety $\mathscr{H}_{\mathbb{A}}^{13}$ associated with $\mathbb{P}^{2}\times\mathbb{P}^{2}$-fibrations of relative Picard number $1$. The construction is modelled on the fact that the affine cone over…

In our previous research, we constructed the affine varieties $\Sigma_{\mathbb{A}}^{13}$ and $\Pi_{\mathbb{A}}^{14}$ whose partial projectivizations admit $\mathbb{P}^{2}\times\mathbb{P}^{2}$-fibrations with relative Picard number one. In…

We consider the structure of the derived categories of coherent sheaves on Fano threefolds with Picard number 1 and describe a strange relation between derived categories of different threefolds. In the Appendix we discuss how the ring of…
