The Manin-Peyre conjecture is established for smooth spherical Fano threefolds of semisimple rank one and type N. Together with the previously solved case T and the toric cases, this covers all types of smooth spherical Fano threefolds. The…

In this note, we study quasi-Albanese morphisms for log canonical Calabi-Yau pairs and obtain several structural results. As an application, we prove a characterization of toric pairs.

Let $X$ be a Fano type variety and $(X,\Delta)$ be a log Calabi-Yau pair with $\Delta$ a Weil divisor. If $(X,\Delta)$ admits a polarized endomorphism, then we show that $(X,\Delta)$ is a finite quotient of a toric pair. Along the way, we…

We construct smooth projective varieties of general type with the smallest known volume and others with the most known vanishing plurigenera in high dimensions. The optimal volume bound is expected to decay doubly exponentially with…

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the nonsingular projective toric variety associated to a finite simple graph to be Fano or weak Fano in terms of the graph.

This paper is devoted to the study of various aspects of deformations of log pairs, especially in connection to questions related to the invariance of singularities and log plurigenera. In particular, using recent results from the minimal…

The complexity of a pair $(X,B)$ is an invariant that relates the dimension of $X$, the rank of the group of divisors, and the coefficients of $B$. If the complexity is less than one, then $X$ is a toric variety. We prove that if the…

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.

Let (X,D) be a dlt pair, where X is a normal projective variety. Let S denote the support of the rounddown of D, and K the canonical divisor of X. We show that any smooth family of canonically polarized varieties over X\S is isotrivial if…

Using pluripotential theory on degenerate Sasakian manifolds, we show that a locally bounded conical Calabi-Yau potential on a Fano cone is actually smooth on the regular locus. This work is motivated by a similar result obtained by R.…

We show that any asymptotically Calabi manifold which is Calabi-Yau can be compactified complex analytically to a weak Fano manifold. Furthermore, the Calabi-Yau structure arises from a generalized Tian-Yau construction on the…

We prove that Generalized Mukai Conjecture holds for Fano manifolds $X$ of pseudoindex $i_X \ge (\dim X +3)/3$. We also give different proofs of the conjecture for Fano fourfolds and fivefolds.

For a log Fano manifold (X, D) with D\neq 0 and with the log Fano pseudoindex \geq 2, we prove that the restriction homomorphism Pic(X)\to Pic(D_1) of Picard groups is injective for any irreducible component D_1\subset D.The strategy of our…

We conjecture that any connected component $Q$ of the moduli space of triples $(X,E=E_1+\dots+E_n,\Theta)$ where $X$ is a smooth projective variety, $E$ is a normal crossing anti-canonical divisor with a 0-stratum, every $E_i$ is smooth,…

Motivated by the study of Fano type varieties we define a new class of log pairs that we call asymptotically log Fano varieties and strongly asymptotically log Fano varieties. We study their properties in dimension two under an additional…

We propose a combinatorical duality for lattice polyhedra which conjecturally gives rise to the pairs of mirror symmetric families of Calabi-Yau complete intersections in toric Fano varieties with Gorenstein singularities. Our construction…

We extend the decomposition theorem for numerically $K$-trivial varieties with log terminal singularities to the K\"ahler setting. Along the way we prove that all such varieties admit a strong locally trivial algebraic approximation, thus…

We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the nonsingular projective toric variety associated to the graph cubeahedron of a finite simple graph to be Fano or weak Fano in terms of the graph.

Inspired by Fujita's algebro-geometric result that complex projective space has maximal degree among all K-semistable complex Fano varieties, we conjecture that the height of a K-semistable metrized arithmetic Fano variety X of relative…

We show that minimal models of $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial NQC log canonical generalised pairs exist, assuming the existence of minimal models of smooth varieties. More generally, we prove that on a $\mathbb{Q}$-factorial NQC log canonical…
